on ubuntu, to make it xubuntu:

xubuntu has only the basics, to make it run on the older pc's, but for newer pc's i'd recommend using just ubuntu.

It's same distro, just different installation media. Xubuntu desktop is based on XFCE, Ubuntu on Gnome. Google for XFCE and gnome and find out what is better for you.
