Er, well, I actually thought it was perfectly clearly-worded myself.

That's a random assortment of distros that happen to /include/ LXDE,
not that are /based/ on LXDE. Lubuntu and Zentyal are both derived
from Ubuntu and use LXDE as their sole desktop, in other words, they
both form part of a single subgroup of the greater Ubuntu community.

I don't recognise any other linking factor in those distros, nor any
other Ubuntu derivatives. Are there any LXDE-*based* distros in that
list *that derive from Ubuntu* that you know of?

It does, rather, yes. Both are taking Ubuntu's default LXDE packages
and modifying them.

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 aggressively blaming me for
this. I don't understand why.
