400Mhz CPU 192 MiB RAM?<br>

Sort of :)<br>
All Pentium class CPUs are i686 compatible (with a very small
number of exceptions). I have installed on a 128 MiB machine
with a 200 Mhz PII using the alternate installer and run one
app at a time. It was no more unpleasant than running Widows
Vista on a 1.6Ghz Celeron and 1 GiB RAM (This not a joke!).
The idea of setting the spec that low was to remind people
what lightweight really means as some people think that
anything less then a multi-core CPU is low spec. The app
should ideally run OK using the basic VESA or fbdev video
driver.<br>

Forgot to mention that bit. After a bit of testing and a
vote, it would be nice to have a 'Lubuntu Recommended' section
or stamp in the LSC.<br>

<div>Good idea, with the name changed. 'Lubuntu proposed' is too
close to 'precise-proposed' (in Software Sources).</div>

No problem for this, we don't need a software source entry, we can
just use a file download by lsc.<br>
example of lubuntu-proposed.list:<br>
mplayer<br>
audacious<br>
abiword<br>

and so on.<br>
