Having an excellent base from which to build, LXLE releases can head straight into beta testing thanks to the superb work already performed by Canonical and their LXDE desktop team a.k.a. Lubuntu. The LXLE 14.04 release attempts to continue some successful ideas portrayed in the 12.04 series, addresses known issues and bugs, and attempts to fulfill known shortcomings of the OS. This first beta of LXLE 14.04 is intended for testers and early adopters and to introduce the current ideas and direction of the OS. Staying more out of the way, and providing a cleaner interface.
