'''ADMOS-Lite''' (previously known as [http://digg.com/linux_unix/Release_of_MinimaLubuntu_v1_OS_P4F_IN '''minimalubuntu''']) is an [[operating system]] that features [[LXDE]] and lightweight programs based on [[Ubuntu (operating system)]], but it is not an official project by [[Canonical]] Ltd. The goal of ADMOS-Lite is to create a distribution based on [[Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu]] that is reasonably fast even on limited hardware & comprnsisets of 100% [[free software]] only. In contrast to other variants of Ubuntu, ADMOS-Lite is focused on providing a trimmed set of software packages while providing the experience expected by a modern computer user. Furthermore, the [[user interface]] is designed to be usable even at smaller resolutions such as those on older computers and netbooks.

ADMOS-Lite uses software from the repositories of Ubuntu but also excludes non-free elements. ADMOS-Lite is promoted, developed, and distributed by the [[P4F Project]].

==Naming==
Previously naming was thought to be done as MinimaLubuntu. It was a mix between the two strings Minimal and [[Lubuntu]]. Lubuntu in turn stands for [[LXDE]] based distributions of [[Ubuntu (operating system)|Ubuntu]]. But finding the possibility that the use of Ubuntu Trademark may lead to trademark issues the [[P4F project]] team soon changed the name to ADMOS-Lite. [[ADMOS]] is the main operating system development project at [[P4F]].
