Name meaning

Is it really important to say that Lubuntu means absolutely nothing? It's quite obvious that Lubuntu is LXDE+Ubuntu. 120.28.71.31 (talk) 15:23, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

People are going to ask what it means. - Ahunt (talk) 20:46, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's absolutely a reasonable thing to state. --Falcorian ^(talk) 23:40, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-release?

I'm not sure if it's right to call a "pre-release" version of Lubuntu the simple availability of the LXDE desktop :-/ Lubuntu aims to be a complete selection of lightweight packages and not only the LXDE desktop, no? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amine Brikci N (talk • contribs) 12:29, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well that is why it is listed as a "pre-release" rather than a "release". This is similar to Xubuntu. - Ahunt (talk) 12:40, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GNOME Stuff Included

See this ubuntuforums thread for more information on what I mean. This includes GDM (so far) as the Display/Login Manager instead of LXDM. But this might change. 24.241.229.253 (talk) 16:40, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems recently that LXDM has been put back in. 24.241.229.253 (talk) 23:24, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
