Hi,
I'm Ed Hewitt (chewit in IRC). I have just joined the Lubuntu team in
Launchpad, I am very keen to give you help with the Lubuntu project. I have
been using Xubuntu since 7.10 release, and over the years Xubuntu has been
getting heavier and slower after each release. This has been dow
I think we should go with Firefox. However, OpenOffice would solve the

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

Apart from choosing the right applications for the distro, the other thing
we need to think about is background services. Xubuntu major problems is the
amount of background services it has. On a standard install of Xubuntu,
there is about 90 processes when you boot to the desktop for the first time
