Lubuntu has LXDE and a collection of lighter-weight apps (Sylpheed instead of
Thunderbird, Chromium instead of Firefox, smaller terminal, smaller notepad
app) and fits nicely, There's now a small software center, too - with all
lightweight apps.
I started using Lubuntu on a single-core laptop, still use it on a Core2Duo
laptop with 4 GB of RAM. With a translucent task bar, my own wallpaper and
Ubuntu icons, it's prettier and easier to work with than standard Ubuntu.
