Lubuntu 14.04 ppc errors + JWM

[Israel]

Hi Fritz,
I like JWM a lot!  Of course you will need to install
menu
(maybe even menu-xdg I don't completely remember) in order to have a
menu you don't manually update all the time, unless you are into that :)
Rox is handy for putting icons on the desktop... though getting
removable media to show up when you plug it in is another story all
together.

I like that you can configure JWM heavily, though there are not too many
GUI tools to do it, and certainly none in the software center.
 You can also install SLIM instead of LightDM, or configure your
computer to boot straight to X.

Enjoy the happy hacking of a config file, it is quite refreshing!
