Minimum specifications for Ubuntu

[Colin James McDermott]

In response to below

I am running ubuntu on a 400Mhz K62 with 192 Mb of ram and it is ok. But
it is not Fine by any means. I have found Open office to be lagging and
it is not really designed for bottom ended machines. In particular if
you have say 64mb of ram then your system will be that slow it will not
be worth playing with. As with windows machines ram has more of an
effect then the processor (or so I have found). 

Is there a way of making a ubuntu distribution that isn't so intensive
(ie one without gnome). I want people to be able to use say an old
Pentium and not have to go to redhat or a more commercial distribution
(which has options for less intensive interfaces). I realise the
advantage of keeping a distribution to 1 cd. But if a seperate
distribution can be made for 64 Bit processors then why can't we have an
old hats distribution?  

Has anyone made an old machgine distribution or does anyone know how to?

I'm running Ubuntu on a 300Mhz Celeron with 192 MB ram and it's fine.
So a P3 600Mhz would be just fine
