Can I get the Sourcecode?
I’ve noticed that a lot of Lubuntu users were hoping for a 64-bit release. Is there any chance of that happening? If not, can I get some help compiling one?
Not only would a 64- bit release of Lubuntu be nice for those who want that, but how about a non- live CD download (that we can find?) since Lubuntu`s like anyone`s Live- CDs are not reliable to install on computers with less memory instead of more memory, than the size of the Live- CD? Since the download directions say, http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-10.10.iso , I`m going to add in as, 10.10-alternate.iso , and see if that eventually shows up. KA2PYQahhhhhtYAHOOdooootCOM
