Relax? I ask a series of serious questions, you give me a quick
brush-off, don't answer any of them and *you* tell *me* I should
relax? I'm incredulous!

As I've commented above, on its own, this is not enough.

That only wastes disk space; it should not significantly slow down your PC.

Interesting insight into community development, this. Apparently,
/community-driven/ means "we will do whatever we felt like doing in
the first place and ignore comments, complaints, suggestions or any
other input from the mailing lists".
So, really, not massively different from, say, Microsoft o

Someone is going to have to do this soon. CentOS 5 is dropping support
for 586 as well, which presumably means that Fedora alread
andy hint - thanks for this. I had been wondering how to
reinstate Crunchbang, the OS which I dual-boot with Lubuntu on my old
notebook. Adding os-prober was enough; Lubuntu added Crunchbang to its
menu all by itself. Nice one!

I was wondering if there was any connection or communications between
the Lubuntu team and that behind the Zentyal Ubuntu-based server
distro, as its desktop too is based on LXDE. I'm not aware of any
other Ubuntu remixes with LXDE.

, but like Ubuntu,
it's not optional - you get what they give you. And at least it's a
low-resource GUI.

Or maybe you are just missing it?
I'm not trying to be hostile here, but you seem not to be getting what
my mere suggestion was getting at and then aggr
hat seems a good choice to me.
I would like it if it were an optional install, to be honest, but it
worked fine on a couple of test machines for me.
And I thought the stripping-out of LXDE might be useful or relevant to
Lubuntu, but I'm beginning to regret saying anything now...! :¬)

In that role, it worked absolutely fine for me and was really easy to
get working.
Its rivals are things like ClearOS or SME Server, not firewalls such
as m0n0wall or Smoothwall.

the risk of people
thinking their PCs have crashed or are off.
However, burn-in is not a historical problem. I have seen quite a few
burned-in TFTs and as people don't think it happens any more, they're
not taking precautions and it's on the rise.
