     19== Moving to Lubuntu 14.04 LTS ==
     20
     21OSGeo-Live 8.0 will be built upon the recently released [http://lubuntu.net Lubuntu] 14.04 Long Term Support release (it was previously based upon Xubuntu 12.04 LTS).
     22# Lubuntu, which is a LXDE based Ubuntu linux distribution, is light weight. This means it runs faster, with less memory and disk requirements which will improve the OSGeo-Live user experiences and allow us to fit a little more onto a DVD.
     23# Moving to the 14.04 LTS release will help bring all applications up to the latest software, but will likely result in a number of applications needing to apply updates to address new dependency issues.
