- Lubuntu 10.10 Alpha 2 Available to Download: from OMG! UBUNTU! by noreply@blogger.com (omgubuntu.co.uk)Lubuntu 10.... http://bit.ly/awX7mR
- 古いPCの延命はコスパ的には窓から投げ捨てたほうが幸せになれるのは分かっているが、、ネットで知り合った方から譲ってもらったPCだから、うーん、後5000円くらいは延命費出してもいいかな、しかしLubuntuのスクリーンセーバーでCPU100%とは、まるでSH8でVISTAの状態だ
- Installed Peppermint OS and it seems to suit me better then Lubuntu although it's approximately the same. Think I'm gonna stick with this OS

It's hard to find banks or
Awesome! That's something
ntp and ntpdate
Why is both ntp and ntpdate installed? Surely both together is redundant. Since ntpdate is required by ubuntu-minimal then it would seem that ntp should be left as recommended rather than required so that a user can uninstall it without uninstalling the whole "lubuntu-desktop" metapackage.
Cromium
Hi! I think Cromium will be great!
Chromium? WTF?
I will not try for the simple fact of having chromium...
Boo-Hoo
sudo apt-get install firefox
That simple dude. Stop turning this into a huge deal.

Chromium ?
Why Chromium ? Was there any alternative checked ? It does not have most features still as how FF had this.
Is there any plan as I was reading previous request to have the lxpanel shown on top by default instead of looking like Windows ?
Yes, Chromium.
Remember, Lubuntu is aimed at low-spec hardware. The team considered four main choices: Firefox, Midori, Arora and Chromium. So far, Chromium shows the best features provided\resources required ratio.
Stop Chromium
Mozilla Firefox will only have a small impact on RAM usage. There is no reason why Lubuntu should support Google indirectly by using its Chromium web browser. I thought we wanted to use free software in this os.
Chromium and the rest...
Maybe in future releases the best thing to do is fork Chromium like
debian did with Firefox as Iceweasel, therefor it will be possible to
compile versions without any Google specific code! But a project like this requires maintainers and a huge community to keep it alive and keep up with the development speed of Chromium. Chromium asks you which search engine to use as soon as you start it
and development of extensions and addons is growing at a incredible
rate. But the license agreement is indeed different than other
browsers...For me Firefox is not usable at all on a machine with 128MB of ram, Midori is very fast but its only in a 0.23 version, a lot of sites work with midori "viewing" but more advanced web standards "interactive" are not working at all, although simple email with hotmail and gmail is working at the moment. So if people don't want Chromium but they'll notice Firefox is to slow, the just need to type in terminal:sudo apt-get install midoriFor this release of Lubuntu which hopefully doesn't get as heavy as
Xubuntu, maintainers choose for apps that are very low on resources, but in the end it needs to be usable. The
most important I think is the desktop environment LXDE which makes
Lubuntu. PCMAN is doing a enormous amount of coding to get the desktop
experience to work on low spec machines, throwing in a resource hog like
Firefox makes his work look foolish for me... Still other low resource programs are preferable like replacing the heavy nm-applet but there is not a fully alternative for it, which support, wired, wireless, modems, 3g modems, authentication etc at all. I'd rather
see the footprint go down of (L)ubuntu right now... A debian
5.03 live cd session with old LXDE desktop will work on a machine with 128MB of
ram. Lubuntu seems to be using something like 256MB at this moment... making a
live session impossible on 128MB of ram. But debian did not have pulse audio nm-applet and other stuff running in the background at that moment, making it impossible to use for a lot of new users...
