lubuntu.net hosted by MBM

As part of MBM's support of Free Software and Open Source we are supporting the new light version of Ubuntu. lubuntu.net will be hosted on MBMs server to give users from all over the world access to the lubuntu community.

lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving Ubuntu variant using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. It includes a special selection of light applications combining easy usability and performance.  lubuntu is targeted at "normal" PC users running on low-spec hardware. lubuntu features lightweight design work, faster boot speed and a smart choice of applications aimed at keeping resource usage low. The standard web browser is Chromium, the open-source version of Google Chrome. Besides speed the lubuntu team aims to offer the best possible compromise for new users offering easy to use application. While lubuntu is developed with the end user in mind, its lightweight approach also makes it attractive to corporate users focusing on faster completion of tasks.
