I'm too more into simple and lightweight systems but I had to join Ubuntu
GNOME and lead some sub-teams but IMHO, GNOME is still better than Unity
but that is only me :)

Tweak-able and beautiful too, I'd guess :)

If truth to be told, I use Lubuntu 13.04 amd64 (where I am typing now) and
have Ubuntu GNOME on this machine as well but mostly, I am using Lubuntu. I
don't yet have Xubuntu on any of my machines. Weird? yes, I know. specially
that there is yet another neighbour who has agreed to install Linux and get
rid of Windows (I feel super happy when I convert people to Linux :D)  and
guess what? I am also going to install Xubuntu for him :)

So, I guess I do need to start using Xubuntu, if not for the system then it
is because it has a very organized community and helpful people that I
respect and consider them an example that other flavours need to follow :)

You are correct, I do need to install it on one of my machines :)

I have created a facebook group (facebook is the best area for me to
recruit people for my projects and for converting them to Linux) for our
community where I live (I guess there are over 4000 people over here :D)
and I will use it as a Technical Support Forum + a place where I can
attract more people to Linux.

Just came from another neighbour’s house (Yes, I am the only Linux/IT Geek
around so I am offering my help to everyone here) and they complained about
Windows 8 which they have on one of their machines. I am going to try with
them as well (convert) :)

Thank you!
