answer to Angelos' earlier question about whether we should move
to Ubuntu 13.04 or stick with 12.04 LTS.
My inclination would be to stick with a LTS release for as long as
we can, in order to reduce our maintenance overhead. (This would
be in line with our policy of stability and quality over latest
features).
+1 from me too
As far as I understand the improvements in Ubuntu 13.04 are mostly
in Unity and interaction with cloud services, neither of which
concerns us. Furthermore, most projects get behind in packaging, so
it would be at least another 6 months till *.debs become available
for all the software.
Lubu
does look interesting if it can save us space and speed up
applications.

is Lubuntu 13.04 out yet as well? (as far as our install
scripts
& packaging go they should all be mostly interchangable)
I've had it (Lubu 12.04) on one of our workstations in the lab
and
am finding it quite pleasant+easy for non-linux users. The
main
difference/reason to consider/test between xubuntu and lubuntu
is
the disc space requirements I think.

Hi,
I would like to see a full build with Xubuntu before changing to
another DE.
This way we will know if disk space is still an issue, perhaps
the extra disk space can be cut down.
Personally I have not used LXDE, but I have heard that it is
very limited (some people call it a non-deskop but of course DE
flame wars are well known...).
On the other hand, staying to 12.04.2 would be a safe choice, it
is pretty stable at the moment....
So our options:
1. Xubuntu 13.04 (alpha1)
2. Lubuntu 13.04
3. Xubuntu 12.04.2
Cheers,
Angelos
