Lubuntu System Requirement

[Ali Linx (amjjawad)]

Yeah, I know but that would be changed, hopefully soon as we are trying to
re-design and re-write our Wiki Area but of course not the whole thing,
only the areas that need changes and this is one of them. Because 700MB is
NOT the minimum requirement for Lubuntu. The one who edited that was trying
to put that in a range.

For me, in order not to be so extreme, I would say 512MB but if truth to be
told, Lubuntu CAN be installed and it will work on less. However,
performance will vary.

No my friend, it is not about being guru or not. I'm no expert but I have
done tons of tests in the past because I like to do everything myself to
understand better.

We are all learning here after all. NO one is expert IMHO :D
I learn from you, you learn from me, we both learn from others, etc.

I'm sure you have seen my other email about the Kernel and Linux. The
system requirements will be changed according to the Kernel used on a
specific release. For example, the system requirement for Lubuntu 10.04 is
not the same as 12.04 :)

Thank you!
