I am a freelance writing and I am researching energy efficiency and sustainable computing. I installed Lubuntu on an old laptop that once had Windows and had gotten a very, very bad virus. The machine was just sitting around my apartment, but I didn't want to throw it in the trash or give it to a recycling company, some of which don't actually recycle the machines. I am looking for two things:
1) Other Lubuntu users like me. Did the environment factor into your decision to start using Lubuntu? Did you use it to bring an old machine back to life? 2) Some data indicating that Lubuntu is more energy efficient. I've seen some claims along those lines, but does anyone have any proof that Lubuntu uses less electricity? I'm not sure who I'll pitch this story to, assuming that there is one, but my previous work as been published in the New York Times and Scientific American. You can find links to those clips here: www.johneischeid.com/clips . You can reply to this list, or reach me at my personal email address: john [at] johneischeid.com Thanks to everyone working on Lubuntu! I've been very happy with it. I tried Ubuntu, but it was a little too much for my old machine, which is an HP Pavillion with only 512MB of RAM. Lubuntu works! -- This message was sent from Launchpad by John Eischeid (https://launchpad.net/~jteischeid) using the "Contact this team" link on the Lubuntu team page (https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop).
