 Still on the Ubuntu note; if you are a fan of Ubuntu goodies.  You owe it to yourself to swing by OMG! Ubuntu and keep watch on their site for news based on the popular distro.  Yesterday they ran a quick mention about Lubuntu 10.10 RMX.

Most Ubuntu user's are familiar with Ubuntu (GNOME based) and Kubuntu (KDE based).  But most of the time Lubuntu gets overlooked.  So, what is Lubuntu?

Easy, Lubuntu is a derivative of the Ubuntu operating system (which in itself is a derivative of Debian Linux).  This version of Ubuntu runs on LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) instead of GNOME or KDE desktop environments.  This user interface is great for computers who have lower resources such as: older computers or even netbooks.  The 10.10 RMX version has a few added features and apps that are useful.  But also comes with multimedia codecs preconfigured.  So, if you have an older pc laying around, breath a little new life into and check this one out.
