[ubuntu-uk] Non-technical events?

[pmgazz]

Also takes a lot of fiddling about to set up a custom Debian desktop and 
I don't have time to make a habit of it. It's a while since I reviewed 
all the packaged lightweight desktops and there's been a lot of 
development since then, I'll have a look at Peppermint. There was an 
Ubuntu-lite version which seems to have died - I also rather liked the 
Fluxbuntu effort - but that also seems to have died.

It is a bit of a gap with Ubuntu - it'd be great if there was a version 
as lightweight as Fluxbuntu was and yet useable for web, Abiword etc for 
non-techies.
