Re: Benefits of Lubuntu being official (was: Re: Ask Mark session )

 

Kendal,

I would also like a 64-bit option.  I have a dual-core machine and would
love to run 64-bit STS/Eclipse.  At the same time, I'm getting between 7-8
hours of run time on my battery.  Generally speaking, will 64-bit be more
hungry or more efficient than the same 32-bit OS?

BTW, I like your distro a lot.  I gave Peppermint One and Peppermint Ice a
whirl about the same time I tried Lubuntu.  I loved all three distros.
 Lubuntu was drawing less power than Pepperment or Ubuntu so I stuck with
it.  I still recommend Peppermint along with Lubuntu to others.  Keep up the
good work.

Tim
