Lubuntu System Requirement

[Ali Linx (amjjawad)]

Hi Barry and thanks a lot for your email.

Indeed, with 256MB of RAM, Chrome/Chromium will crash. Chromium actually
crashes on my Test Laptop with 512MB of RAM. Firefox on low RAM machines as
far as I noticed is much stable.

There is a Non-Official Apps for Lubuntu for testing, one of them is a
browser. If that browser prove itself as a better replacement for Chromium,
I guess we might see that on the next releases but of course, only if our
tests will show it is good and we vote for it.

What is the CPU for that machine?
I have tested that on two, one is Due Core 1.86GHz with 512MB RAM and the
other is P4 3.0GHz with less than 512MB RAM and on both machines, Chromium
crashed either on facebook or Gmail with another tab opened (total 2 tabs)
and sometimes even one tab.

Thanks :)
