Hi,

I've been discussing this issue and Lubuntu 12.04 being 100% LTS or not [1]
and all the confusion about "will Lubuntu still support my very old machine
or not?" for the last two weeks or maybe more.

Long story short, I will jump in and find out myself some if not all the
answers that our users are seeking and looking for.

http://phillw.net/isos/lubuntu/lucid/
I'm downloading Lubuntu 10.04 right now from the above link.

I will install it once done on my test machine.
I need to see myself what is going on and the EOL for the 10.04 Desktop
version is coming soon, less than a month. That will be really interesting
:)
As you know/may know, each release has different Kernel [2]. Some machines
can't use 12.04 or 12.10 because the support had been dropped/stopped. So,
if you guys have Qs about that, you do now know who is doing the test and
experiments.

Thank you!
