Hi John: 1) Other Lubuntu users like me. Did the environment factor into your > decision to start using Lubuntu? Did you use it to bring an old machine > back to life?
The reason i had to use this OS is that my machine was not working at all with XP and since with a P3 & 256 ram there's not a lot of OS that runs smoothly and are functional, i tried a lot of systems since i found it crazy to change a healthy machine because of it's OS! One day i found Lubuntu, tried it... and stayed with it since! For me, it has all the benefits of Ubuntu but it's very simple, clean... and really fast. Later, I even installed in a very old amd-k6 and runs nice. 2) Some data indicating that Lubuntu is more energy efficient.

I could not tell you with scientific proofs, but with Lubuntu my battery that has 10 years can work for more or less 1,6 hours (starting with the battery as power source) and i find it incredible... even once it lasted two hours, starting connected to AC power. With Ubuntu or XP is about 1 hour only. -- >> jpxsat >> Ubuntu user #29.157 (Lubuntu 10.04) >> Linux user #522.597
