LXLE Paradigm (A Lubuntu Respin)
LXLE Paradigm, basically, is Lubuntu 12.04.3 with most of the major applications and software added that people normally install after an OS installation: office; photo editing; music; and everything else. LXLE stands for Lubuntu eXtra Life Extension. The main difference is ISO size, as a result. A few tweaks were made to Lubuntu, which lighten it further, such as the removal of zeitgeist. LXLE is a RESPIN, a collection of software packages brought together to provide an integrated experience, right out of the box.

Lubuntu Support
LXLE Paradigm 12.04.3 LTS is a stable respin of Lubuntu 12.04.3, which means that its base software is Lubuntu and Ubuntu based. The best place to find support for Lubuntu and Ubuntu distros is in the Ubuntu wiki's, Forums, and their respective websites. These well developed support areas can assist you with: how to format your hard drives; make installation DVDs and USBs; install software packages; and almost anything else you may encounter. (The exceptions to this are listed below, in the section marked LXLE Paradigm - Specific Support.)
In addition to this, both Google and DuckDuckGo search engine environments now have tools that help focus Ubuntu related searches - Googlubuntu and uDuck. LXLE recommends uDuck, which toggles to uGoogle, a tool developed by the security conscious LXLE development team.
