Lubuntu is a faster, lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu operating system. It uses LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. It has been designed to be a very lightweight and easy-to-use desktop environment.
Lubuntu is targeted at normal PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware. Such users may not know how to use command line tools, and in most cases they just don't have enough resources for all the bells and whistles of the "full-featured" mainstream distributions.
A Pentium II or Celeron system with 128 MB of RAM is probably a bottom-line configuration that may yield slow yet usable system with Lubuntu. It should be possible to install and run Lubuntu with less memory, but the result will likely not be suitable for practical use.

Ubuntu won't accept it as it's official Ubuntu based distro because they already have Xubuntu.
