new version every six months (supported for nine months), with every two years having a long term support release
(supported for three years).
Choosing between Alternate and Desktop images
---------------------------------------------
Alternate images are mainly intended for older, lower spec hardware and uses a non-graphical installer. The Desktop
version offers a live session to try out Lubuntu and make sure all of your hardware works before you install it on
your computer. The installer on the desktop is a graphical installer where you can use a mouse and keyboard and it is
more user friendly, but this takes more resources than what is usually required to run Lubuntu itself, due to the
fact that the desktop image runs from your RAM while Lubuntu normally runs from your hard drive. If your computer has
less than 512 MB of RAM it is recommended to use the alternate installer as it will perform better with your system.
The alternate installer does not provide a live session so therefore it uses less RAM.
Lubuntu offers images for two different architectures:

- amd64 (commonly referred to as 64-bit)
- i386 (commonly referred to as 32-bit)
