My computer is not too old, but Ubuntu (gnome) and Xubuntu (xfce) is slow for me. Lubuntu is faster and is a update SO, so i don't have to use a old SO (like WinXP) to use decently my all day work. Other reason that makes Lubuntu my default desktop is that is base on Ubuntu, a OS that i am very familiar, i don't need to learn news things (except the GUI and lubuntu default program).
