<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Dear Lubuntu-users,<br><br>Greetings! I am Raymund. I would like to help in the marketing side of Lubuntu, especially branding.<br><br>In almost all articles I read about Lubuntu, the distribution is featured as a suitable OS for slow or old hardware. However, I see a much more potential for Lubuntu, not just in the desktop.<br><br>IT administrators who wish to migrate to Linux but accustomed to the GUI of Windows server may want a server distribution that is not totally reliant on commandline, thus, having to learn Linux from the ground up.<br><br>My proposal is for Lubuntu to be marketed in both fronts - fast and lightweight desktop workstation and as a Linux production server with GUI. This way, when a company decided to do Linux migration, it would be easier for the IT personnel not accustomed to Linux to work with the Linux environment.<br><br>A Lubuntu distribution for servers would have:<br><br>(1) games removed<br>(2) significantly enhanced security<br>(3) administration and networking utilities added<br>(4) Basic Ubuntu server installed; tasksel installed by default<br>(5) long term supported (though understandably hard at the moment because of manpower)<br><br>Any members of the Lubuntu team/users also into promoting Lubuntu as production server with GUI?<br><br>Best regards,<br>Raymund<br> </div></body>
