Just wanted to inform that the second beta of Lubuntu Saucy Salamander is out (as published at the mailing lists and the Fridge). If you want to test this system feel free to download (PC32, PC64 and Mac). If you prefer to use Torrent files you can get them here.
More changes are included in this “cooked” ISO, like the complete removal of Chromium (getting back Firefox), the zRAM module, updated (and more complete) icon theme, redesigned LightDM theme, etc.
Brought to you by WOW Lubuntu starting from 8th of April 2013, StartUbuntu (created by amjjawad)
is a huge project and a massive campaign that is aiming to reach to
Microsoft Windows XP Users and offering them a modern, unique, stable,
fast, powerful, highly customizable, active and amazing community based
system, open-source, free Linux-based system which should replace their
very old no longer supported system. Start Ubuntu is simply offering NOT
ONLY one “replacement” for Windows XP, but 9 options, 9 alternatives, 9 Operating Systems – Please see Ubuntu Family.

I personally want to thank everyone that in any form made a
contribution to this contest – competitors, voters, promoters,
everyone. Also, a big thank you goes to Guillaume Le Roy who once
again helped us host our contest at Picomp – a great tool
and service of his that we’ve used for several contests now.
Next contest will be held sometime in March and will decide our
default wallpapers for Lubuntu 14.04!
Ubuntu QA finally cooked the first beta of Lubuntu 13.10 a.k.a. Saucy Salamander. You can grab it and install for (I never get tired of saying this) testing purposes only. Goto to Ubuntu QA and choose the flavour you want. Or go to download straight forward for 32bit, 64bit, Mac or PowerPC.
Also, I’d like to remind you that you can comment, criticize or just say whatever you want at the Lubuntu official Facebook page.
