Julien Lavergne has released lubuntu Lucid Beta 1. Don't forget that it's build with Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) which is still in Beta state of development, so same warnings:
"Pre-releases of Lucid are *not* encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent breakage. They are, however, recommended for Ubuntu developers and those who want to help in testing, reporting, and fixing bugs."
We passed Feature Freeze, that means most of the features should now be available. It's now time for testing and fixing bugs.

lubuntu experience
As happy owner of an ASUS eeepc 900, I'm interested in a light-weight OS. Put lubuntu on a USB stick and took it for a spin. Overall experience very good. Just a few remarks/questions:
Although I'm happy with Abiword in itself, I need OpenOffice for its compatibility with Microsoft Office. No problem: installed OpenOffce through synaptic. Worked fine, except that buttons in the wordprocessor are downright ugly with rediculously large icons for bold/italic/underline for instance. They are much better in the OpenOffice supplied with Lucid. Can that be changed?
It is probably my lack of insight, but I could not find a setting allowing for two-finger touchpad scrolling. What did I miss?Keep up the good work and interested to see stable version in due course.

Autologin with LXDM ?
Hello all, have tested the Lubuntu beta 1 and looks good. Especially blue which is my favourite color. On the other hand I still no improvement on the autologin feature with LXDM so I will still need to install GDM instead. Hopefully there is a process for this in the next release. Any possibilities to ad more desktopflavours would also be a plus. Welldone with this Lubuntu and I will keep on using this.

We have just published our first review of the system on Open Source Critic. You can find it here: Lubuntu review
Trying Lubuntu
I downloaded Lubuntu beta 1 twice. Burned the CD both times, but when I use de "check CD for defects" on boot, it teels me that 1 file is wrong.
What could be happening?
1 bad file reported
Yes, I got the same thing. Tried on several disks including CD and DVD, both reported the same. Then I used the MD5sum and it checked out fine. Not sure if the disk's MD5 is correct.You can see this by doing this at the command line:md5sum lubuntufile.iso > file.txtThis will create file.txt with the MD5sum number and you can compare to the MD5 file that is at the download site. Mine checked out th same.
Lubuntu test
I have downloaded the ISO file and put it on USB memory. I booted on it and the live system worked fine. The system is very responsive and I think that default applications are great.
All hardware on my min HP-110 was recognized. I use LXDE with my DEBIAN unstable and I think that is a great idea to put LXDE with Ubuntu to avoid long configuration like I did with DEBIAN.
Lubuntu is good alternative for limited PCs.
I'll install the 10.04 release.

Will be released a 64 bit version too? I know lubuntu runs good on older hardware, but doesn't it work even better on newer hardware?
