A sustainable model suggested by some is the Seed model practiced by the Xubuntu developers. There are solutions like Ubuntu Customization Kid (http://uck.sourceforge.net´) and Reconstructor (http://reconstructor.aperantis.com) out there. However, they have some drawbacks and I am not sure how we can build a model to include different people in the process. I see the seeds model as a viable way to make lubuntu sustainable. There is a wiki page on the kubuntu wiki with more information: Seeds are the lists of packages we want to include in the distribution. The minimal, boot, standard, desktop, and either ship or live seeds go onto our CDs. Xubuntu seeds, being built on top of Ubuntu, inherit a shared set of seeds called the platform seeds. These platform seeds are maintained by Ubuntu Core Developers whereas the Xubuntu seeds are primarily taken care of by Xubuntu developers. Xubuntu seeds (as with all Ubuntu flavors) manage their seeds using the bazaar revision control system and host them on launchpad (build scripts pull the official seeds to build the cd). (https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Xubuntu/Development/Build) More information on Seed Management here https://wiki.kubuntu.org/SeedManagement. What do you think about it?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Testing alpha2 on msi wind U100
Its working very well, After the first time booting I had an error while login,there was something with the startlxde.What I did was changing Desktop session from default to Lubuntu.

I remember the Ubuntu Koala Karmic had some display problem with Msi Wind. It was the backlight that starts flickering.. I realize here was the same problem but it was only for couple of seconds after the boot. And in the Koala Karmic there was some problem too with detecting devices on usb... but here It didnt notice of it About the Wicd, Its still a problem connecting WIFI,I still got that cannot obtain IP adress in WEP mode. I plugged my modem Huawei E220 in my netbook. And it was detected. But I dont know no anymore how to use vwdial but It would be nice there is some thing to use it to connect my 3G modem Bluetooth I switched on but no sign of blue in the corner... So I have to install to progam... any suggestion please... Further as netbook user I am very satified with the this Alpha stage 2. Normally I really relay WIFI,my modem 3G and bluetooth. If hope these 3 things can be fixed or can be more improved. There are 3 files attached with technical info's.I hope it will be enough to get Lubuntu better keep up the good work Regards Josef A.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Default Browser
I think this is one of those time when we are all going to agree to disagree... Julien, if we go with Midori, can we put a script or shortcut on the desktop that will install FF? Personally I think this would fit the bill, have a lite browser, but give users who don't know very much a simple way to install FF. I am thinking about the illiterate here, bot people like us who know what we are doing. I'm fine with Midori since it seems to do everything FF does, but I suspect if we have some way to track it, I think you would see a lot of FF installs after the fact.

Online banking sites are another matter, obviously I can only test mine, which refuses to cooperate with Midori, Opera and FF 3.5 3.6.
