I think Lubuntu is selling itself short

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi,

I've just had chance to look at the cdimage page for lubuntu (the alpha 1's
of 13.10 which passed have just been released). There is mention of
'server' stuff under the heading for alternate images [1]

We can mirror those comments on the 'GetLubuntu' page. (Jason ? :) )

Regards,

Phill.
