Best LXDE based distro/distro that supports LXDE?
- by Misha Koshelev
Lubuntu is nice - but it seems the LXDE version is not as up to date as Fedora LXDE Spin or even Debian squeeze with LXDE installed...
I do like Chromium on Lubuntu though... its faster and a nice touch.
So, any good recommendations?
I am fairly used to Ubuntu and the dpkg/apt commands, but am willing to learn.
I am looking for a lightweight 64-bit distribution for my main laptop (it is by no means "old" or "low spec" but I like that Lubuntu starts up in like 2 secs).
Anyway as you can see I have a strong Lubuntu bias, but there are issues like:
LXDE version seems not to be recent (esp in 10.04 version which seems to work more stably for me - with Nvidia drivers etc)
64 bit install is currently a pain - requires first install of minimal CD or alternate CD both of which required wired Ethernet, then install of lubuntu from PPA. Native 64-bit support would be nice. Linux Mint LXDE, for example, is also only 32-bit.
Thank you so much
