I think Lubuntu is selling itself short

[Andre Rodovalho]

I also use lubuntu to virtualize... a system with low consumption and
stable is ideal for that! But I guess people who knows about those things
will realise that somehow, I guess there is no need to spend some effort
for that specifically...

Maybe a wiki page with use cases? real ones?
