Just curious, is there any chance they happen to live in a multilingual environment?

I'm asking this because I was very interested in being able to switch the O.S. language to whatever each user...

That's a great comment indeed!

Thinking I could barely afford my now rather old version of a very popular photo editor (With its fair share of bugs in the album manager.) on my production...

That's interesting and quite an insightful comment.

I assume that there may be someone clever enough to crack their licence-enforcing system, but did s/he also embed any backdoors in this cracking...

*This. But as for the pirated Windows, my experience tells me they're mostly using WinXP which I guess it's got a limited number of days until it becomes unusable (as in obsolete). What are they...

I read the e-mail headers I receive from companies worldwide and if memory serves me well I'd dare to say that all people I have dealt with were using some version of MS Windows--I actually know of a...

While playing with Google trends I found out that in some locations the word "linux" seems to appear more often in searches than the words "microsoft" or "windows 7".

In particular, that seems to...

I'll certainly keep using Lubuntu/Lxde for the time being and Lxmed (LXMenuEditor) may come in handy at some point. Thank you for your advice!

Sometimes the graphics render all funny when I'm...

Should I add any other information about my computer setup not included in the above post?

Thanks in advance! :)

I've got an old E2220 running at 2.40Ghz with as much ram as I can have on a 32-bit system. I'm running this Lubuntu distribution on a VirtualBox machine and all I'm using Lubuntu for is g++, Python,...

So I have to stick with, either, plain OpenBox or Lxde?

Running Lubuntu instead of Xubuntu is like night and day on my computer.

I had to switch from Xubuntu to Lubuntu because Xubuntu ran very slowly on my computer, but I found Lxde to be somewhat less user friendly than Xfce.

So would installing Xfce over Lubuntu consume...

I guess that would be the equivalent of Orage Calendar.

Orage Global Time, which is part of the same suite, lets you configure clocks for different time zones / countries.

What's the equivalent of Xfce's Orage Globaltime in Lubuntu / Lxde?

Thank you in advance.

Your solution worked for me as well, thank you!

It may be a matter of perception, but I believe that the terminal takes longer to open now than with the previous release of Xubuntu. Maybe that...

The "Open in terminal" shortcut from the navigable folder menu (Directory Menu) found on the Panel#2 of Xfce was working just fine with Xubuntu 11.04. But I was offered an upgrade to 11.10 and the...

Why would I have to go to the command line more often? I hope I don't have to work out all of the software dependencies on my own. I preffer to install packages from the GUI if that's what you meant....

Thank you for your input! That's certainly helpful.

As for eye-candy I like Xfce, but I guess I should go with Lubuntu if it is significantly faster on a VirtualBox machine. As long as it doesn't...

Thank you! :-)

Lubuntu it will be.

Do I have to be aware of any limitations of the Lubuntu distribution compared to the Xubuntu one? I was able to "play" with it for a limited time period so...

That was fast! Thank you! :-)

Could you please help me choose between Xubuntu and Lubuntu?

Also, should I run the Ubuntu-flavor of Xfce / LXDE or a completely different Linux distribution...

I would like to install one of the several Ubuntu distributions (Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu) for use on a personal computer running Windows 7. That is I would install the Linux distribution...
