I will NOT say that Lubuntu is 'BETTER' that other variants. so, for those
who have quietly said so, forget it. You have brought no proof. That Lubuntu
can run on lower spec is true. I REALLY think that would be the wrong way of
going about things.

Deadline is to day, if no one else has any more input from what has been
said, I will ensure we have a decent presentation.


Regards,

Phill.
