The first beta of Lubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) has also been announced by Canonical, alongside Kubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Lubuntu is a distribution that aims to be a lightweight operating system, which uses the minimal desktop LXDE and a selection of light applications.

The developers of Lubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) have yet to release any important details about the new distribution, with the exception of a new Linux kernel, 3.8.

According to the developer, the 13.04 32-bit ISO requires the CPU to have Physical Address Extensions, or PAE. For the PowerPC, it is known to run on a G4 running at 867MHz with 640MB RAM.

Download Lubuntu 13.04 Beta 1 (Raring Ringtail) right now from Softpedia. Remember that this is a development release and it should NOT be installed on production machines. It is intended to be used for testing purposes only.

Very few glitches so far with my installation. We are fortunate for all the fine cadence work that has been done. It was nice of Kubuntu to begin work with the alpha stage. It would be nice if Lubuntu 13.04 was a 5 year stable release but as has been noted there just isn't enough people to do the developer work. But it a version of Ubuntu now so it isn't alone.
