I wish you good luck with your business in Brasil offering Lubuntu as a solution for home use and for small offices :-) If you answer to a couple of questions it might be easier to help. - Do you install Lubuntu into computers, that are already owned by the customers, or do you sell computers with Lubuntu (your tweaked version) installed? - In each case, how much horsepower is there in the computer? I mean, are the computers old with slow CPU or low RAM, or new? (Without knowing your answer I think it is OK to install an Ubuntu flavour with more eye candy into a newer computer: Xubuntu, Ubuntu with Unity or Kubuntu. It is 'within the family'.)
