Short Info:

Mario will present LXDE, the faster, easier to use and more energy

efficient desktop environment started 2005 by Taiwanese developer

Hong Yen Jee. ¨I have two netbooks with me and will show you the

difference in speed and ease of usability of LXDE by comparing to

other currently pre-installed Linux systems on netbooks.¨ Mario will

talk about the current development plans, the global community and

opportunities for companies with LXDE. Join the LXDE presentation

and learn how you can become a member of this international vibrant

free and open source project from Asia.

What:

LXDE, "Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment", is an extremely faster,

performing and energy saving desktop environment maintained by an

international community of developers. It comes with a beautiful

interface, multi-language support, standard keyboard short cuts and

additional features like tabbed file browsing. LXDE uses less CPU and

less RAM. It is especially designed for computers with low hardware

specifications like netbooks, mobile internet devices (MIDs) or older

computers. LXDE can be installed with distributions like Fedora, Ubuntu

or Debian. Applications running on these systems will run with LXDE.

The source code of LXDE is licensed partly under the terms of the

General Public License and partly under the LGPL.
