First Lubuntu Test ISOs Available

Download of Lubuntu doesn't work. Link is broken :(

We are aware that the download is no longer available. It appears that the traffic volume was too big for the particular server that was hosting the files, so the administrators are currently in the process of moving the download to another location.
The links will be updated as soon as the change occurs.

Is this liveCD ISO or for install only?

It is a Live CD.

Lubuntu could be improved with the changing of Firefox to GNU IceCat as the default web client.

GNU IceCat is basically Mozilla Firefox with all of the items that are trademarked by the Mozilla Foundation stripped off. So the gain would be at most a philosophical one, because IceCat complies more strictly to the Free Software Foundation's definition of what free software is. Since Ubuntu uses a Mozilla Firefox packake that is compiled from the official sources, it complies to the Mozilla license and can be redistributed with out problems. Because of that, I don't think that the Lubuntu developers will have any intention of exchanging Mozilla Firefox for GNU IceCat.

use lxde on my netbook and i will test this version too

I also use for browsing :google chrome very fast on slow cpu
and arora browser (0.9 is now released)

Will LUBUNTU be able fit on a old laptop with only 96 MB RAM? (Currently has Win98 installed) I have a PII, 4GB HDD laptop that might be useful if I could get a good Linux OS installed on it. Since I use Ubuntu on all my other computers it would be nice to use a distro that is in the same family.

Probably Puppy Linux or Slitaz would be better choices, out of the box. If you want to take the time to configure a full-blown distro by hand, you might want to try Slackware as a base for that.

LXDE is great, but I'm more interested in an updated version of OpenGEU

I have recently installed Xubuntu in my father's old PC with 128mb RAM and it didn't work fine. It was very slooooooooow. So I installed the LXDE desktop and everything went correctly. I am willing to install this new distro. LXDE is simply perfect for legacy computers although has still to improve some features like personalisation possibilities.

To add to my prev post; The interface and wallpaper looks cool.

Brilliant work from the dev team.

The category of computers appropriate for something like Lubuntu
may be quite large soon. Not only has Microsoft pledged (for the nth time)
to discontinue support for XP, but available legal copies of it are drying
up.

To stay in WindowWorld, we are going to be forced into Windows 7, a makeover (we hope improvement) of Vista. For Microsoft, it has to be good this time around, or people will definitely go to alternatives like Apple or Linux. Or give up and google in the clouds with a "netbook".

The bad news is that W7 as the only Windows alternative will render a good
portion of existing computers obsolete. Some might be upgraded, others
cannot, at least in a cost effective manner. More waste of perfectly good
hardware is ahead if the software for them is not available or mantained.

Why does an OS have to be so all-inclusive? The applications are where the
real muscles should be developed. When Microsoft left the command-line
model of DOS and tried to make GUI the be-all and end-all, I think they
began a swiss-army-knife approach that led the whole personal computer world astray. Including the Linux offspring of Unix! The result is a great deal of aping King Kong by the wannabes. Some of these monkeys use as much resources as Windows, with no improvement and little standardization.

I wish they would KISS complex OS goodbye. and I hope Lubuntu is a step in
the right direction. Keep It Simple and Standard!
