Hi, I use lubuntu (I prefer and test the alternate iso) as you state, it is a great base for running virtual machines on and that is what i do for testing. It may be of interest to others that as part of the quality classroom sessions, we are covering various methods of using the different virtual machines[1]. As the Alternate includes tasksel it is also very easy to install a LAM server etc. Lubuntu is a lean system and leaves more resources free to do these other tasks :)
