    New apt repository for LXDE

    Hi all, we have new apt repository for LXDE now.
    There is no update in my personal apt repository for quite a long time because I don't have ubuntu anymore. Ubuntu 8.04 performed poorly on my laptop, and there are a lot of unresolved problems, so I removed ubuntu, and switched to ArchLinux recently.
    Fortunately, we found another package maintainer - michael r < michael.r@spamfreemail.de>. He built up a new repo on Launpad PPA of LXDE for us.

    For Ubuntu 8.04 hardy
    Code:
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ubuntu hardy main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ubuntu hardy main
    For Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy
    Code:
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ubuntu gutsy main
    deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/lxde/ubuntu gutsy main
    Just do this, and you'll get the latest LXDE (lightweight X11 desktop environment) for Hardy.
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install lxde
    From now on, our official ubuntu repo will be moved to Launchpad PPA service.
    Currently, i386, amd64, and lpa packages of the latest LXDE are provided for Hardy. Please upgrade now!!

    Alternatively, you can use the repository provided by Ubuntulite project.
    This is a lightweight branch of Ubuntu. They switched to LXDE in Ubuntulite 0.8 release.

    Cheers!!
