We all know that Linux distros do not use as many resources as the latest Windows distros, although from my own experience I think that Ubuntu Lucid Lynx is not far behind Windows 7.
But for all those people who have obsolete computers or with few resources they can use alternatives to this one that are not far behind. If you want a feasible alternative to Ubuntu’s Gnome and Kubuntu’s KDE you can use Ubuntu (which uses the environment LXDE).
This distro is much more «light» than its sisters and perfect for computers with few resources without giving up a current operating system. Lubuntu is just one lighter version, stable and less heavy than its father Ubuntu designed for all those low-performance computers.

The environment LXDE will offer us a minimalist interface and organized, maintaining the same possibilities and power than his brothers. Lubuntu is available in its version 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) and I must say that it does not fall short. In addition, it is not only perfect for old computers but also has been modified to fit 100% netbooks modifying its interface automatically (selecting it in the GRUB).
