It's really a pleasure reading this. It's a confirmation of our work and good news that keep us on the way. Everything you mention were the Lubuntu targets (speed, simplicity, ultra-fast learning curve, easy-to-see) specially using those (not so) old computers we have in a corner.
Anyway, your advertising over there is well apreciated! :) Thanks so much. <http://lubuntublog.blogspot.com/> <http://www.lubuntu.net/> 2011/12/27 Daniel Ziegler <[email protected]> > Hello all, > I would like to tell my story about my experience with Lubuntu and the > LXDE Desktop. > > I've been using Ubuntu since around middle 2009, on a variety of > hardware-Dell P4 towers with 9.04 and 9.10, ThinkPad T23 with 10.04, > custom Phenom II X4 with 10.10 thru 11.10.
