Hi, I need to install xubuntu because frank, unity and gnome 3 are bull. So can someone tell me the terminal commands for this.

Seriously thought pick the right forum for the right questions.

LOL.  I'm also not a big fan of ubuntu's sudo.  I usually just type in "sudo su," work as root, then exit.

BTW OP if you haven't heavily customized your system, I would recommend just doing a fresh install of Xubuntu, in order to minimize the amount of bloat.  Installing XFCE on top of an existing Ubuntu installation is just messy in my opinion.  Then again you could just remove all of the bloat after installing XFCE, but that would probably take quite a while LOL.

Don't type "sudo su" it creats security problems. What you should do is "sudo passwd root" because root exists it just doesn't have a password.

On a side not why use ubuntu, they are not opensource everything except ubuntu os is closed source (ubuntu one, ubuntu for andriod) even ubuntu os nags you to install propritary drivers. Use a good os like Debian or OpenBSD.

Root always has a password on my boxes
I always do the following when setting up a machine:
sudo su
passwd

Why does "sudo su" create a security problem?  

If you really want to take the time and setup your installation, Arch is the way to go.
