Hi Im still trying out new distros for my aging ThinkPad. As you know I prefer buntu based distros and am currently using Lubuntu and am very impressed with it. Out of all the distros I have tried so far it is by far the fastest - except Puppy Linux but I didnt really like that. I tried Xubuntu with LXDE instead and it wasn't anywhere near as fast as Lubuntu. I quite like LXDE too. Lubuntu is a little rough around the edges and is still in Alpha stage. Ive been looking at Linux Mint LXDE. I tried the standard Linux Mint a few months ago - which is Gnome based - and it didnt run well on my hardware but an LXDE version might be different. Has anyone used Linux Mint LXDE? Do you know how it compares to Lubuntu in terms of memory usage? Is it any good?
