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.
