And what of the ( many ) people who run older machines with less RAM ?

Linux for human beings ? There are a lot of human beings out there who are
lucky to have even 128 MB of RAM, and who are using old Pentiums.

Can we please avoid thinking always in terms of bells and whistles, and
try to balance features with the needs of people for whom a stick of RAM
represents a large investment?

I suggest, as an experiment, that developers might deliberately install
Ubuntu (Gnome version) on, say, a PII with 128 MB and see what it is
like...

Please keep it as lean as possible. People on dialup with old boxes already
have problems with their shipit CDs as a result of the greater memory
demands of the new installer.
