It rocks! Check the newest LXDE distro from PCLinuxOS! It's flawless, elegant, light, and speedy. The best implementation of LXDE I have seen yet.

It would not boot up on a K6-2 CPU. The LXDE Blog post on this, also referenced this fact.Neal wrote:
I tested it on an i586 before its release. It worked fine.
I'm not knocking any one distro. I feel that most of the distros should include a default kernel with the image, that will install on the widest available range of systems (at least a 586-based CPU), then if the user wants to install a kernel more optimized for their specific CPU, they can certainly do that.Neal wrote:I see. Your point was not so much what we at PCLinuxOS did, but rather a knock and a plug for lubuntu.
Not every Linux user is a Kernel compiling user. And not everyone wants to be. I certainly dont want to.edward wrote: I'm not knocking any one distro.
