Unity

[Chris Robinson]

Consider Lubuntu, Ubuntu with Lxde.  It does not have official status yet, but 
Mark Shuttleworth seems to have given it a tentative nod.  It's the lightest 
'buntu release by far.

I haven't done it yet, but I suggested to someone doing an install onto a 128Mb 
machine that the graphical installer may work if you make the swap partition 
with Gparted first (using the Gparted LiveCD).  They said it did work and 
installed OK, but was slow, as you'd expect.  Running speed after install was of 
course much better.  (I don't believe that there's an alternate install for 
Lubuntu yet)

Lubuntu might also be useful to anyone wanting a minimal install that they can 
add Gnome2 or any other X environment to, but works out of the box with Lxde in 
any case.

I installed Natty a few days ago and I must say I can't stand it.

I have been experimenting with LXDE and other options (because GNOME 3
is nearly as bad as unity) and I think my future is with LXDE.

I think Unity has turned me away from Ubuntu and I don't think it will
be too long before I'm using another distro.

Maybe not, we'll see.
