Lubuntu is a lightweight Linux operating system based on Ubuntu but using the LXDE desktop environment in place of Ubuntu's GNOME desktop. LXDE is touted as being lighter, less resource hungry and more energy-efficient. The developers intend that Lubuntu will eventually achieve endorsement as an official derivative of Ubuntu.
The LXDE desktop uses the Openbox window manager and is intended to be a low-system-requirement, low-RAM environment for netbooks, mobile devices and older PCs. In this role it competes with Xubuntu.One initial test indicates that it uses half as much RAM as Xubuntu or Ubuntu on a normal installation or in typical use. Lubuntu has found a particular use as an operating system for computers being refurbished for charitable distribution to needy families due to its ease-of-use and ability to run fast on the older hardware typically donated.

It's the second beta.
