Hi, 12.10 will receive backports. Yes, we are in the crazy world of 12.10 being supported for longer than 13.04. That is the 'ubuntu' view, and the lubuntu devs already do SRU. An SRU is a Stable Release Update. Please notice the small, but massive difference between 'UPDATE' and 'UPGRADE' as peop

Hi guys, i haven't wrote on this list for a while (now i have much more to do, including school), but i do like the "simplest as possible" installer, i think is a good idea. Also, we don't have to make lubuntu the most used os in the world (at least, i don't feel like it should be) so please d

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen! I wanted to try something that is much simpler from the ground, to perform a basic installation (not only to be able to install into a computer with low RAM, but in general to be successful without knowing much). I think some of the Windows XP users will try Lubuntu if

Hi, when we are tired, we must take a break. Within any F/OSS group there will dis-agreements at times; some of them from widely differing positions. When dealing in such situations... write your reply & then go and review it a few hours later. I've been guilty of not doing that, but am hopefully

Hi Ali, Having 'manners and respect' includes not telling other people to learn 'manners and respect'. Also, from my point of view, you're both speaking in an informal fashion. We're all here because we're volunteers, and I don't think we need to be especially formal. Firing insults back i

This is a good description (but more specs than story). I have one small detail: the lifetime is only 9 months of 13.04, I don't know about 13.10, while it is still 18 months for 12.10- Best regards Nio On 2013-06-26 20:53, Ali Linx (amjjawad) wrote: > Hi, > > *Part 1* > https://wiki.ubuntu.com

Hi, *Part 1* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu The objective of the Lubuntu project is to create a variant of Ubuntu that is lighter, less resource hungry and more energy-efficient by using lightweight applications and LXDE, The Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment, as its default GUI. Lubuntu is t

I would strongly suggest you go and learn some manners and respect, then come back :) I would also suggest you read the CoC and the mailing list do and do not. And before you jump in to the middle of some serious discussion, keep the informal stuff away and don't assume you know much about Lubuntu

Hi, ubiquity will not work with 128Mb of RAM. After the alpha 1 is out, we may be able to get Julien to install ZRAM into our alternate installer for us to give it a try. Browsers have also grown over time, to the point where lubuntu dropped Ffox and switched to Chromium. Ffox has been on a strict
