## What is Lubuntu?
|
|
|
|
|

The project’s goal is to provide a lightweight yet functional Linux distribution based on a rock solid Ubuntu base. Lubuntu provides a simple but modern graphical user interface and comes with a wide variety of applications chosen for their small footprint so you can browse, email, chat, play, and be productive.
