Hi, I've been discussing this issue and Lubuntu 12.04 being 100% LTS or not [1] and all the confusion about "will Lubuntu still support my very old machine or not?" for the last two weeks or maybe more.
Long story short, I will jump in and find out myself some if not all the answers that our users are seeking and looking for. http://phillw.net/isos/lubuntu/lucid/ I'm downloading Lubuntu 10.04 right now from the above link. I will install it once done on my test machine. I need to see myself what is going on and the EOL for the 10.04 Desktop version is coming soon, less than a month. That will be really interesting :) As you know/may know, each release has different Kernel [2]. Some machines can't use 12.04 or 12.10 because the support had been dropped/stopped. So, if you guys have Qs about that, you do now know who is doing the test and experiments. Thank you!
