A recent post alerted me to the existence of Lubuntu, of which I was heretofore unaware.
I am happy with my Fedora 11 laptop the way it is, but seeing a new distro makes me curious. I went to the Lubuntu site, but nowhere could I find how big the ISO is (unless I download it), how much RAM it takes to run Lubuntu, or why it is a better choice than Xubuntu. While I am not personally interested, at the Clinic we quite often are faced with a newbie wanting to install Linux on a computer with limited resources, e.g., < 256 MB RAM, hard disk with only 4 GB, and so on. When faced with such a scenario we usually whip out a live CD for Xubuntu, although occasionally Puppy and DSL have their day. If Lubuntu is a viable alternative, I'd like to know. I am hoping some Lubuntu devotees will shine some light in my direction. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
