Well, my computer is getting old so I had decided to try out Lubuntu. Originally I had just installed lxde on Ubuntu and used that, but when it came time for 12.04 I wanted to do a clean install of Lubuntu.
At first I tried to install the 64 bit version via USB flash drive.
Lubuntu, an Ubuntu-based distribution integrating the LXDE desktop has announced the release of Lubunto 10.04 Beta 2. If you are not familiar with Lubuntu or LXDE, here is a screencast that gives you a good feel on this distro:
Hello guys,
I have a problem with my mother's Windows 7 netbook. Some time ago I installed Lubuntu on it, but I didn't really use it, so I decided to remove it.
Hello Ubuntu Community,
I've read some posts in the forum, and some people have actually deleted their Windows OS. I haven't decided upon doing that yet, but I'm curious on how you do that. So, how do you delete windows?

Oh by the way, I replaced ubuntu with Lubuntu just yesterday. I heard from a friend the UI is a lot like Windows, and indeed it is.
A couple of things that I have noticed.
I have floppy drive inbuilt to the tower.
When running Lubuntu the green light is constantly on (drive empty).
When I connect to the Internet, I see no information that tells me how strong is the signal.
When I use the file manager, I can see the Lubuntu folders, but my folder (MyFile_programmes) is invisable..
Happy New Year.

Julien Lavergne has released Lubuntu 10.04, an Ubuntu-based distribution featuring the lightweight LXDE desktop: "Lubuntu 10.04 is now available for download. Lubuntu is an Ubuntu variant using the LXDE desktop. It's designed to be a lightweight and easy-to-use desktop environment.
I have An Acer Aspire 1362 Laptop with AMD Sompron 2800+ processor and only 256MB RAM, with Windows XP installed. I have downloaded Lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso and installed it to a 16GB USB stick. I do not want to install Lubuntu on my hard drive (yet!).
I have got the USB stick to boot, and am working my way through the menu.
I'm new to Lubuntu/LXDE/openbox and I've just installed Lubuntu 12.10. I'm so far unable to find a way to tile windows with the keyboard.
Is there a way to have a keyboard shortcut that will make a window fill the left or right half of the screen (like in unity and Windows 7)?
Alternatively, I'm trying to get XMonad to work with Lubuntu.
