Hello, I installed Lubuntu on some old computers and liked it so much I am using now on all my family’s computers, including brand new ones. Even on a new computer, I want my computer’s resources (and electricity) to be used on the programs I am actually using, rather than the GUI Shell which I o

I will give my opinion about some: 3. In a fresh install, when you put a DVD in, nothing happens - no media player. When you open GNOME Mplayer, and ask it to play a DVD, it moans about finding nothing at /dev/dvd/ (probably because the system has mounted the DVD under /media). I then installed V

I'm a Linux user/admin for more years than I care to remember however if the name Yggdrasil means anything to you you'll understand. I run a lot of older hardware and have needed to de-commission some as various distributions became bigger and bigger. It was therefore refreshing to find Lubuntu
