Just in case, there was any miscommunication, the list just contain possible
candidates for the application category. For instance, in the web browser
category, we have midori, epiphany, firefox, kazhakase and some others. But we
will only choose one, and based on the meetings, we have chosen Fi
I too have the same opinion and in the same situation as Glen. I have missed
out on the meetings, since only being involved in Lubuntu since yesterday. I
have looked at the applications list and there is too many, Lubuntu could
end up too heavy. This is one of the reasons I sent my first email off
Wow,
I just went through the list if apps, Thats a lot of stuff...
Personally, I think it should be lighter than this, but I guess thats
what I get for missing the IRC meeting :)
Will we have a chance to vote on these things? or do the IRC meetings
denote final say?

Hi everyone,
Good to see the sudden spike in mailing list activity. I definitely need time
to follow the threads.
For those unaware, we have had 3 IRC meetings to discuss the goals and
applications of Lubuntu. The logs are at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/IRC%20Meetings. The objective of the
I would say LXDE is lighter than Xfce, the LXDE developers seem to think so.
I think 64mb Minimum is enough.

Well, its always difficult to say the system requirements. Xubuntu is
suggesting that they require 192mb RAM for it to be usable. But Xubuntu is
heavy, lubuntu should be far less.
On LXDE website they say this:
- The hardware requirements of LXDE are similiar to Windows 98 (Maybe a
little b
Good point ed,
we are forgetting our requirements, and getting head of ourselves.
so now that we are mostly agreed on being small and lightweight, what will be
the minimum and recommended specs?

I believe its a bad idea having different versions of Lubuntu, having
different meta packages of Lubuntu is not what lubutnu needs. Its all about
lightweight distro. The Ubuntu guidelines requires the distro to have one
build, lubuntu-desktop.
All we need to do is make sure that this single meta p
We should think from the user perspective, rather than the geek perspective.
Barebone is good for geeks and those people who want to customise distro and
put on computers,
Remix is important as it appeal to normal users who will want out of the box
experience.
The success rate for remix will appeal
This is where I belive i might be of most help, as i have been selling pc's
with linux on it for a few years now, to complete newbies in linux, in fact
they have never heard of linux, I have always created my own remix of ubuntu to
have the apps they require or need, and in fact, only 5 people
hi all,
I think lubuntu should not meant for geeks only. It should appeal to the
mass just like ubuntu is for.
As for applications, we should not think too much about the disk space, as
disk space is not very critical less than cpu and ram nowadays, but it's
good to keep it below 2 GB after instal
i agree with c david rigby, in that maybe we can have a barebone system, and
instead of having installers in the install process, maybe have some meta
packages in the repo's where a user can download the 'full multimedia desktop'
or the 'professional office tools'

I have a small script the guts the system of all the fluff I do not need.
These days I use the minimal ISO and install from the repos what I need. So
much better. My root partitions is currently 2Gb with the desktop + web
browse + vlc + transmission + pidgin + some plugins. Bliss [?]

I agree,
Keep it small and lean, and apt-get anything you need.
The one question I think needs to be answered is " Are we making a
distro for newbies?"
If we are then you will need a bunch of standard default apps... If
not, which I think in my personal experience with Linux and LXDE, this
will
I agree, It's a simple matter to install software VIA Snyaptic
On another note, I think Synaptic should appear is the launcher next
to the main menu, I always find myself placing it there, I hate going
to "find" it in the admin menu...

Can you clarify "create a base system" please. Do you want an Installable
ISO or do you just want a package list that would make it up?
Thanks
