LXDE version aims to be minimalistic while still providing the full power of ROSA Desktop systems. It includes only really necessary components and is built with the "the easier - the faster" principle in mind. Don't try to find here "bizarre simplicity" of Gnome3 or tons of configuration options as in KDE4. This is a version for those who value asceticism and speed rather than nice-looking but resource consuming user interface. The release is based on the time-proved GTK+2 framework, though some components are using the latest developments from GTK+3/GNOME3. As a result, the system is rather conservative but provides a set of modern features.
