Yes, this is great, but the right timing is to wait until the Lubuntu LTS, unless there should be a special agreement including support with Munich. Then it would be a giant prototype or testcase and learning before the real launching at the release of the LTS. Nio On 2013-06-24 00:02, Ben Parris

Ali, they plan to release the CD's in March, doing so means they will be using 13.10. In April (one month later) 14.04 LTS is released and any users of 13.10 will be prompted to upgrade. Those who choose not to will have support dropped in July. As I have stated a couple of times, it seems pointle

Phill, Problem is, we are talking apples and oranges here. I have never stated that Lubuntu 13.10 will be 'the replacement' for Windows XP :) I have stated, I'm stating, and will state that Lubuntu, is the best replacement for Windows XP. Please, if that is not clear, by all means, I'm more than
