Lubuntu 12.04 is released

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi folks,

the ubuntu-server is already buckling under the strain. Can I ask that
anyone who can torrent to please do. If you need a full iso from the server
because you cannot use torrent, you may well be better off using the
secondary server. I'm not sure what the hit rate is on it at the moment,
I'll go see how it is bearing up shortly.

Regards,

Phill.
