lubuntu toolkit (?)

[Phill Whiteside]

Hiyas,

not too sure if this is what you want / need, but lubuntu does have a
low-fat, super skinny version.

Head over to
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall for
a read...

Keeping track of all the ways you can install lubuntu is a full time job :D

Regards,

Phill.
