Hi, to clarify I use *mini.iso and build the OS and use JWM*, not Lubuntu. But, my iBook has very low memory.
If I have more than 512MB RAM I can use Lubuntu easily. There are systems that cannot even run Ubiquity (the Lubuntu installer). For those I use JWM, but I still use some Lubuntu components (PCManFM for a one example) I actually use a variety of Ubuntu, depending on the hardware. I use my own minimal system on low end hardware. I use Lubuntu on the next step up. I sometimes use Xubuntu on 2Gig systems If I have 4Gig I usually use vanilla Ubuntu, or Gnome, or KDE. I like all the varieties of Ubuntu, though Lubuntu has a very special place in my heart! It was the first OS I used on a low end unusable machine. Lubuntu fixed it and made it faster than it had ever been. Plus, I am pretty excited about the new LXQt version, and look forward to using it!!
