Lubuntu Staging PPA

[Nio Wiklund]

Interesting thread :-)

I'm looking forward to 14.04 and hope that Lubuntu will get 5 years of
long time support, and that quite a lot of efforts will be made to keep
drivers for old hardware as well as new features and drivers for new
hardware.

Best regards
Nio
