Myself am using Lubuntu, and yes I like its simplicity. However I can't recommend it to inexperienced users, because of its missing functionality. However this gap is closing fast, and I think Lubuntu will be OK for inexperienced users around 13.10/14.04. -- Ioannis Vranos http://www.cppsoftware.net -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-comms Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-comms More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
