Hello Arpad,

I think you are talking about
this<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu>:)

My email about Lubuntu 10.04 has nothing to do with my campaign about
Windows XP :D
It is true that Lubuntu would be our strongest tools in this huge project
but after renaming the project from Start Lubuntu to Start Ubuntu, we would
have 8 options instead of just one :D

The Wiki Page is updated now, have a
look<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu>if
you wish :)

Thank you!
