lubuntu.net new website with Drupal 7

lubuntu
The goal of the upgrade of the lubuntu website was to keep all previous content and screencasts of Leszek and to continue the site with the latest version of Drupal 7, respectively the speed optimized distribution Pressflow 7.

Lubuntu 12.04 is now available

lubuntu
Julien Lavergne and the team have released lubuntu 12.04. Download: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/12.04/release/ What is Lubuntu Lubuntu is a flavor of Ubuntu based on the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE), as its default GUI.  The goal is to provide a very lightweight distribution, with all the advantages of the Ubuntu world (repositories, support, etc.).
