Lubuntu 10.04 Alpha 1 - Visual Overview
April 29th will see the release of new addition to the Ubuntu family. Joining Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu will be a new lightweight version - Lubuntu.
What is Lubuntu?
Lubuntu combines Ubuntu with the "Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment", more commonly known as LXDE, which provides a "fast-performing and energy-saving" working enviroment for users and it perfectly suited to low-power hardware.
Why would i want to use LXDE/Lubuntu?
If you have a fairly old computer or low-powered device then using LXDE will allow you to get more out of your machine. It uses less RAM, less CPU and less hard-disk space than either GNOME, KDE or XFCE (Xubuntu) thus providing significant performance gains over them.
