Can someone tell me how I can go from Ubuntu 12 to lubuntu 12? My old computer can't handle Ubuntu. Thanks

sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktopLogout, click the sprocket, select Lubuntu, enter password, enjoy :) No need to reinstall the whole OS just to change desktop environments. You can also install xubuntu or kubuntu desktops the same way.

Thx. How do I uninstall Ubuntu once I do that

You normally don't. The underlying system between Lubuntu and Ubuntu is the same. You are just adding another desktop environment to choose at login. No need to remove anything unless you are critically low on disk space.

That apparently has become a issue in 12.04. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=416802&page=8
