> ----------------------------------------------
>
> Taipei/Berlin/Paris, Oct. 10, 2010: Following intensive development Julien
> Lavergne, developement lead of lubuntu, announced version 10.10 of the
> lightweight desktop on October 10, 2010. lubuntu is a faster, more
> lightweight and energy saving Ubuntu variant using LXDE, the Lightweight X11
> Desktop Environment. It includes a special selection of light applications
> combining easy usability and performance.
> lubuntu is targeted at "normal" PC users running on low-spec hardware.
> Improvements of the latest lubuntu version include autologin support in
> ubiquity, support of install only mode in ubiquity, support for
> lubuntu-restricted package in ubiquity. lubuntu 10.10 comes with a completely
> new theme by Rafael Laguna. Lxpanel now supports Ubuntu indicators applets.
> Added applications and tools are Update-notifier, to get notification for
> available updates, Xpad, to create quick notes and Ace-of-penguins, to
> provide some games. Parcellite, which is not maintained upstream, was removed
> and Pyneighborhood was replaced by gvfs support of pcmanfm. LXtask replaces
> Xfce4-taskmanager for tasks monitoring. Evince is now used for reading PDF.
> During new installations a slideshow now describes features of the system.
> Minimum requirements for lubuntu are comparable to Pentium II or Celeron
> systems with a 128 Mb RAM configuration, which may yield a slow yet usable
> system with lubuntu.
> lubuntu features lightweight design work, faster boot speed and a smart
> choice of applications aimed at keeping resource usage low. The standard web
> browser is Chromium, the open-source version of Google Chrome. Besides speed
> the lubuntu team aims to offer the best possible compromise for new users
> offering easy to use application.
> While lubuntu is developed with the end user in mind, its lightweight
> approach also makes it attractive to corporate users focusing on faster
> completion of tasks. Applications included are Sylpheed as e-mail client,
> Openbox as window manager, the file manager PCManFM, GPicView Image Viewer,
> Transmission for Bittorrent, Gnumeric for spreadsheets and Abiword for word
> processing. A new meta-package (lubuntu-core) is available to install only
> core packages of Lubuntu.  A new meta-package (lubuntu-restricted-extras) is
> available to install restricted packages for Lubuntu (such as flash, java and
> extra codecs for chromium). Additional applications are available through the
> packaging installation system Synaptic from Ubuntu repositories.
> Features of lubuntu 10.10:
>     * Faster boot speed through integration of lxdm, LXDE display manager
>     * Low usage of system resources through Lightweight X11 Desktop

> About LXDE
> LXDE, the "Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment" is an extremely
> fast-performing and energy-saving desktop environment. Started by Hong Yen
> Jee known under his nick name PCMan, in Taiwan in 2005, LXDE is today
> maintained by an international community of developers. It comes with a
> beautiful interface, multi-language support, standard keyboard short cuts and
> additional features like tabbed file browsing. LXDE uses less CPU and less
> RAM than other environments. It is especially designed for cloud computers
> with low hardware specifications, such as, netbooks, mobile devices (e.g.
> MIDs) or older computers. LXDE can be installed with many Linux
> distributions. It is the standard for Knoppix and lubuntu and it also runs
> with  BSD. LXDE provides a fast desktop experience; connecting easily with
> applications in the cloud and supporting a wealth of programs that can be
> installed locally with Linux systems. The source code of LXDE is licensed
> partly under the terms of the the General Public License and partly under the
> LGPL. The website can be accessed under http://lxde.org.
> About lubuntu
> lubuntu was founded after a meeting with Mark Shuttleworth in Berlin during
> the Ubuntu Developer Sprint in February 2009 (Source:http://blog.lxde.org/?p=208). The desktop is currently among the top
> distributions on the page rank hit on distrowatch
> (http://distrowatch.com/index.php?dataspan=1).
