Yes, <div><br></div><div>I have a Q.... by all means promote lubuntu as an XP replacement... but the release of such a replacement will be the 14.04 LTS. As desktop releases only have 9 months support, are you seriously going to argue that 13.10 is a replacement and in 9 months time all support will be dropped? If they go for a March launch, then the CD's will be unsupported by July 2014.....</div>

This is pretty awesome news for lubuntu!<div>
<br></div><div>@ Ali and others who I asked to hold back on our shouting out that lubuntu should wait for 13.10, I apologise! Sadly it is planned from March, I do think we should get in touch with them and ask that it coincide with our 1st LTS which is April.</div>
<div><br></div><div>@ Jono, can you, via Canonical, alert them to the fact it would be better to wait for our 1st LTS in April 2014?<br><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Phill.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
