<p>Lubuntu isn't one I've tried before, so I'll certainly give it a go, given the pretty overwhelming support for it.</p>
<p>For resale purposes to the possibly-less-savvy, should I go for 10.04 since its based on the LTS, or are there some special effects and / or other wowing features in 10.10 that'd make a newbie to Linux happier with the comparison against Win 7?</p>
<p>Thanks all for all the splendid help!</p>
<p>Dan</p>
