Sy, listen to my friend Steve, on this. He's a first-class thinker, and<br>
articulated matters I didn't even get to, in a logical and lucid way.<br>

(But, as a GoLUG volunteer par excellence, you probably have seen this<br>
for yourself.)<br>
<br>
And sure, Lubuntu's a very defensible and sane choice for newcomer<br>
desktop users -- with exactly the caveats that Steve so neatly and<br>
efficiently summarised.<br>
