I think Lubuntu is selling itself short

I'm a Linux user/admin for more years than I care to remember however 
if the name Yggdrasil means anything to you you'll understand. I run a 
lot of older hardware and have needed to de-commission some as various 
distributions became bigger and bigger. It was therefore refreshing to 
find Lubuntu and be able to re-commission a number of them.

That said I do feel that Lubutu is selling itself short as it's not 
just for older machines nor an introductory Linux for those moving from 
other platforms such as XP.

It makes a wonderful lean base platform for spawning virtual servers, 
in fact ideal. I believe more of this capability should be emphasized. I 
know there are many projects underway at this moment but think it would 
be very interesting to have an alternate install geared directly towards 
virtual servers.
