lubuntu RAM and CPU Requirements

lubuntu
We don't have for now the requierement needed for Lubuntu, because some components are still in developpement.However, I done some testing on Karmic + LXDE/Lubuntu packages updated from Lucid + some adjustements, and a session start with 50-60 Mo, according to the taskmanager. So in your case, the memory could be a bit short to be confortable.For the processor, I can't test if it's useable. But It will be a good candidate for testing Lubuntu Lucid, and I will be happy to have your feedback on it.

lubuntu Lucid preparations

lubuntu
The real first release of lubuntu should be for Lucid (10.04), in six months. To prepare it, I began to write 3 specifications [1] about the future Lubuntu, to hold discussion about some aspects of it. I hope to be at the Ubuntu UDS [2] to work on them. Feel free to contribute to them (with constructive arguments, not troll please :)) Nothing is decided, and help in various aspects to make Lubuntu 10.04 rocking, will be very appreciate :) [1] https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lubuntu-lucid-artwork https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lubuntu-lucid-default-applications https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/lubuntu-lucid-packaging-policy [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDS

Lubuntu Team Expanding: Join Now

lubuntu
Last week Lynxis prepared early test ISO images for Lubuntu, the ubuntu flavour of LXDE. Unexpectedly the Lubuntu public download rush crashed the servers of a Berlin creative technology center “c-base” which hosted the test images. Lynxis rents office space there. The download problem was quickly resolved and LXDE/Lubuntu is even more famous now in Berlin. Also another group faced growth troubles. The Lubuntu team which just manages the seed discussed whether to keep the release team open or close the group because that was potentially dangerous. Membership skyrocket to 135 members. It was decided to keep membership open for now. We are also looking for a new logo for Lubuntu as the deadline for the Karmic release cycle quickly approaches.
