128MB notes

[Phill Whiteside]

Hi Dan,

our 10.04 stable beta was the last 128MB. We simply do not have enough dev
people to keep 10.04 fully updated. We do really wish that we could have
some one to back port things to 10.04, but we do not have that person.
Lubuntu 12.04 is going to ask for a little more, but we also have brought
in -core and -minimal for 12.04 to stay resolute to our goals. Reverting
back to non-pae kernel by default etc. does keep our mission alive. For
12.04, please do give us time. Our fantastic group of testers, devs and
documenters are working day to day on ensuring we have the best result for
"old computers".

Regards,

Phill.
