Hi,

Thanks for your feedback, let me try to answer some of your
questions/ideas :

Pcmanfm will be rewrite for the next release, it will be interesting to
test this on the next release, as version 0.5.X is not developed
anymore

It's more a bug on wicd than on Lubuntu itself. You should report a bug
on the package.

Lubuntu will have a volume applet by default, to be able to change your
sound more easily. I don't think we need a real mixer (with all channels
configuration), most of people just want to manage the main channel.

Do you test this with Ubuntu, or another variant ? It could be a problem
in general in Ubuntu, not only Lubuntu.

Next week for an alpha 1, if I manage to build one correctly :)

If you have an iso, you can create an img for flash disk. I'll do it if
I'm not too lazy :)

Sure, but as David said, maybe not optimized yet.

Well, I personally think that server with GUI is a bad idea, but it's
just personal opinion :)

Firefox is still on Lubuntu, but maybe not for too long :)

lspci or a graphical tool like hardinfo

It's very good to have feedback from user :)
