Hi,

I'm looking for an internet telephony program that is completely peer-to-peer so that no central server is needed even for initial connection and, therefore, no login is needed.

Then there is also Lubuntu, allegedly more lightweight than Xubuntu. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1790701 for some comments.

Hello,

I've been using Edubuntu so far and now I'm wondering if my next release of Ubuntu should actually be Ubuntu or Edubuntu. I've used some educational programs but then again I don't see why...
