Yes, couldn't we put  bunch of options up on the wiki or something and
everyone could vote?
Seems the most democratic way of doing things to me.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] IRC meeting : Sunday 14 February 15:00 UTC

2010-02-10 Thread Douglas Stanley 
This is also St. Valentines day here in the states. Some of us (like
my self) may not be able to make
it due to the "wife getting pissed at me for spending time with the
computer instead of her" factor :)

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Default Browser

2010-02-01 Thread Douglas Stanley 
I just checked out arora and midori (midori from ppa). I'm thinking
midori is the best *default* option.
If people want firefox, they can easily apt-get it anyay, but if we
need to pick a default, and want to
keep with the lightweight principles, I think midori is the way to go...

Does kubuntu default to konqueror? I remember most KDE distros used to
default to konqueror and
firefox had to be installed separate. It's not a whole lot different than that.
