Hi, If you need firefox, Open office etc., then maybe you should have a look at xubuntu? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu that is the lower resource version of Ubuntu (gnome) that includes the most part of it.
Lubuntu is a departure from open office, etc. There is nothing to stop you installing *any* package into lubuntu, just bear in mind a couple of points: 1) The lubuntu team is very small, because of that: 2) You're on your own it is not working / breaks you system. Lubuntu does take everything I have thrown at it, that it is not to say you would have the same happy experience. Please just bear that in mind when you stray from the default applications. Please do not go complaining to us or others that you added 'this', 'that' and 'the other' to it and managed to break it. The team can only support a standard installation of lubuntu, if you wish to go 'play' and see how far you can get, make sure you have plenty of backups. *Altering lubuntu is *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. You are, however, welcome to do so at your own risk.* All the *buntu family allow you to do to it as you wish, just accept we cannot help you if things should go wrong. Regards, Phill. P.S. If you are hell bent on pushing lubuntu, then http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=103 may interest you. I do, however once again state that the title of that thread and that area are in no way a part of the official lubuntu area.
