Easy to use and runs smoothly even on very old hardware and minimal RAM.

I'm dual-booting this with Win7. It installed wonderfully on my Samsung NC110, didn't have to fix a single thing. It's fast and beautiful. Love it!

I enjoy Lubuntu very much, they did a good job with it. Its lightweight and fast. Its snappy and good enough to be a main OS, the bugs I experienced seem to be fixed but there are still some.
