Bodhi is my preferred distro. Not a particular Ubuntu fanboy. However, I was referring to the fact that developer's home page lists the platform as Linux(Ubuntu/Debian) and provides ppa right at the top of the page in a very visible spot.

Lubuntu 13.10 is, yes, a short term release but Lubuntu will be releasing in April of 2014 14.04 - Lubuntu's first LTS. So, users that are new or less experience will have an LTS to rely on plus Lubuntu will be working hard to release a user's manual with Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15819009793322685886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-81921179256675499512013-10-20T18:57:30.166-07:002013-10-20T18:57:30.166-07:00maaf saya tidak bisa berbahasa inggris.
