Hi, welcome to QA.
Hmm, if lubuntu is still too big for you I can only suggest you try lubuntu-core (not lubuntu-desktop) which is the really stripped down version of lubuntu. Details of the 11.10 series of this can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall I am asking our head of dev to find out if the lubuntu-core option is available for 12.04 yet. @Julien, is lubuntu-core available for 12.04 yet?
