Important blog entry from Jonathan Carter on tuxlab-os:
http://jonathancarter.co.za/im-bringing-edgy-back

tuxlabs is an edubuntu-based ltsp linux for schools, based in South 
Africa. The relevance for this list is:

1: using XFCE, from Xubuntu, in place of gnome to relieve the strain on 
the X server.
2: a live vd chooser, that allows a graphical install (in 128mb ram) 
without having to boot into the full desktop

Lots of other cool stuff as well, like a very cool online assistant. 
More details can be found at http://www.tuxlab-os.co.za/ (not yet 
available for general download - due 2007).

It's worth considering how tuxlab-os and xubuntu could work together, in 
bug-squashing and documentation, for example.
