Re: lubuntu - minimal install or full featured lightweight distro

 


I am not sure if am allowed to vote, but if i were i would vote #2 because having a functional yet lightweight system is more important for most people, anyone how needs a minimal desktop would do so using the minimal install ISO of ubuntu anyway. Marcondes wrote:

I also agree that we should go for #2, mainly because when i get a
distro, i want it to just work, i don't want to have to install basic
things like a full featured web browser (firefox) or office suite
(openoffice)

Subject: [Lubuntu-desktop] lubuntu - minimal install or full featured lightweight distro


The question of lubuntu is:
1. Either we want to make it a minimal install or
2. we want to make it a lightweight alternative to full featured distros.
I vouch for the second.

I vote for #2. I always feel that it is a waste if the full 700MB of a cd is not even 50% used.
