    Hello.

    SUSE might be the greatest OS ever made, but I want to take a moment to plug the new Lightweight Ubuntu (lubuntu) Linux. I installed it on my old Windows 98 laptop with just 160 megabytes RAM (32 internal + 160 expansion), and it works great. It has the power of the latest 2010 Linux OS, but without the unnecessary bloat of xubuntu or Gnome ubuntu.

    Canonical also provides the backing & migration path that Microsoft or Mac users (me) are looking for. IMHO if we want Linux to succeed we really should focus our efforts behind whichever version we consider the best, rather than running-off in a bunch of different directions (which looks confusing to the Newbie standing on the outside & looking in).
