Getting Lubuntu close to being a "gnome-classic" replacement

[José Serra]

I honestly don't remember; I've installed LXDE on so many distros, and I don't have anything running Lubuntu at the moment. The "other" menu has been an annoyance for me in LXDE in general. That's why I found it notable that this was missing.

I have seen it in Raspbian (Raspberry Pi).

xfce is closer to gnome classic than lxde

Why? Or maybe I should say "how so"? Just because it has a top panel?

One of the things I really like about Lubuntu is that if you've installed a different flavor you can simply install 'lubuntu-core' to get the basic DE and then you can pick and choose what packages you want to add beyond that

Cool Kansas; we should start a retroclub for the guys who want to live in the past ✪ personally i am a fan of the Warty Warthog desktop image and gnome 2 around Karmic about perfect for the next 20 years insofar's i am concerned ... good to make all this info available... Linux is about customization and choice ... These are possible routes and the info need be available; i know we are a minority , but minorities matter ... ☯
