What is the difference between Leeenux and Lubuntu ?

Hi


What is the differences on Leeenux (http://www.leeenux-linux.com/) and Lubuntu (http://lubuntu.net/) ?

Is there any differences in the Kernel at all between those two ?


Because I see now that Leeenux derived from Lubuntu, so why should I choose Leeenux before Lubuntu ?

Have a read here (http://www.leeenux-linux.com/learn-more/).
I am not sure it matters for netbooks what kernel is used. What really matters is how well the screen space is managed by the window manager, and how much resourced the default installation required. IMHO, both xfce and lxde are ok on resources, but are unfit for netbooks, as far as screen space goes.

Hard to say. The Leenux site isn't ... ahem ... very informative.

Probably. Why does that matter to you?

You saw wrong. It's derived from Ubuntu. Not Lubuntu. I personally wouldn't touch Leenux with a 20 foot pole. I have never seen worse Linux tech support on a distro site. And noobs like yourself will need it. Especially with LXDE ... it doesn't have nice GUI config tools, which is part of the price for the speed and lower RAM usage.

I'm actually not a fan of Lubuntu 14.04 ... it was on my netboook which now runs Mint 17 Mate ... but I wouldn't suggest what I saw on the Leenux site to my worst enemy.

The thing is, Linux is very reliable but you can count on having to do some configuring when you install, and there are some hardware support issues. Newbies like yourself don't know how to look up things properly yet. You're going to need good tech support. There is nothing else that compares to ubuntu tech support.

So, while I actually use ubuntu based Mint 17 nowadays, for newbies there is no other linux distro besides ubuntu I could recommend.

I use ubuntu on my Netbook. It may be a bit slower than it is on other systems, but it still runs fast enough to make me happy.

There's also manjaro netbook edition with optimised atom kernel.
