but there's nothing spectacular about ubuntu that would mean it /cant/
run on anything better than 386... its not like drivers for netcards go
missing after a while.
ubuntu is a very kitchen sink distro. the kernel as as many modules as
possible, really.
i would be surprised if the end user can handle the wait for openoffice
or firefox to load. i sure hope they choose vi and lynx, seriously.
