Yes, I am aware that Ubuntu Studio is too using XFCE but if I will install
the meta package, 'MS Paint' will be intalled? or just one of its
alternatives?

I have just installed GNOME Paint and Pinta which very close. He insisted
on MS Paint but I will convince him ;)
However, I think it is good idea to show him everything so I am willing to
give him the 3 options (MS Paint + Pinta + GNOME Paint) and when he will
check Linux Applications, I am sure he will get rid of MS Paint ASAP :D

Yep, I am working so hard to recruit as many as possible.

I installed Lubuntu to a lady with very old laptop. She was dazzled and
until now, she did not ask one single Q :D
I think I did the installation 3-4 weeks ago and because she hasn't asked,
I can assume everything is super fine. However, another one called me twice
because they have Windows 8 which ... well, you know Windows :D

I refuse to install Windows :D
I will do whatever it takes to provide those newcomers with any option but
not Windows.

His son needs Paint because he is studying it at school and I have to
convince him that it is not necessarily to use the exact same program. I
guess I have my own way to do a brainwash :P hehe just kidding :)
