This states the following requirements for running Ubuntu Server:
* 300 MHz x86 processor
* 128MB of system memory (RAM)
* 1GB of disk space
* Graphics card and monitor capable of 640x480
* CD-ROM drive
The first one is somewhat funny, as I think there were only a few early
Pentium II's and PentiumPro's that ran at 300Mhz. Since we dropped i586
support in Maverick, might we also think about raising this to say,
450Mhz ?
Also while there are things one can do w/ 128MB of RAM on Ubuntu
Server.. is it a realistic minimum?
Do we actually require a graphics card? If you are clever you can get
the alternative installer to install via serial console IIRC.
