There are countless very old computers running Ubuntu, in Developing Countries.

It is very important to keep them running. Important for the whole Ubuntu Community too, as we are educating futur users, admins, contributors and developers.

Ubuntu should IMO keep supporting them, whatever by which mean. Not easy, but we have to find some viable solution.
Thanks for having launch this thread! (Y)
