“An updated version of Lubuntu was released last week,
along with Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu. This release brings
Lubuntu, along with the rest of the buntus, up to version 10.10.
Lubuntu is a distro designed to provide a lightweight alternative
to Ubuntu itself. Lubuntu uses the LXDE desktop environment.

“Here’s a bit of background if you aren’t familiar with
LXDE:

“The “Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment” is an extremely
fast-performing and energy-saving desktop environment. 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.”
