He he, well, one thing for sure.... the GetLubuntu & MinimalInstall pages will certainly have been fully checked before we release!
Getting A.J. to write up a small wiki page attached to the Minimal Install page is something I was going to ask him to do today :) From reading the various comments, it does appear that switching from Chromium to xxxterm brings massive benefits for low RAM systems. As has been pointed out in other discussions, from the 11.10 (and possibly 11.04), it does seem that more than 128MB is now needed to have a system that does not 'crawl'. One suggestion was to raise the minmum RAM for these to 196MB, but I'd be curious to know if they can run okay at 128MB provided you don't use Chromium. Yes, we must be open and honest, but if you can get 12.04 onto a 64MB system, albeit with tweaking via lubuntu-core, we'd not be being honest if we simply said to people "No, you cannot". Steve has pointed out that 32MB is too low for a usable system, so we do know that 64MB is REALLY pushing the lowest limit the lubuntu can funtion on. As for what other distros do & do not require for minimal specification, that is not our concern. We are here to advertise lubuntu and simply saying "No, it will not work under any cicumstances - go and try XYZ" is not going to get the greater usage of lubuntu out into the general world! Re Intel Macs, I'd swear I wrote that section up, along with the *add link here for Download* as I don't know the exact landing link for them, or the ppc images yet. Regards, Phill.
