Hi Julien,

I've trimmed down as much as I think I realistically can about our options
for 'odd-cases' on the release notes. I have noticed that the contents of
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu#Lubuntu_Applicationsshould
really be at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/Lubuntu#Changes_since_11.10with
a listing of our default applications at the former. I'll leave that
to your tender mercies :)

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu has far more detail &
it itself further points to
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall for
the really 'odd ball' cases.

For the ppc machines, I am awaiting one of our testers to have access to
the test rig so as to let me know which of the Gx chips he had gotten his
figures from. I've got a day of mock-exams tomorrow, so will not be able to
update that until ~18:00 local time (we're GMT +5.5), unless Steve is kind
enough to just goes in and edit it himself :)

Regards,

Phill.
