I see your discussion. In my opinion the most important thing is that a
user gets a complete working system.
What do you consider 'complete'
A complete base system without specific user applications
or
A complete system with word processing, image manipulation, media player
and other stuff they would never even use on a low spec machine?
To me it would make a lot of sense to have a fully working base system,
and leave it up to the end user what application he or she wants to run
on it.
All of these machines probably had at least a combo drive (read DVD,
write
CD). More than likely if you had such an old drive in the computer it
already died.
Thats also a good point, but some 'dead' DVD drives still manage to load
CD-ROM without issues.
Or at least the NEC drives in HP machines manage to do so. (or is that a
firmware bug?)
Anyhow, they CAN read CD-ROMS but can NOT read DVD's anylonger.
I just happen to have one of those sitting next to me right now...
Also
For the ones with access to Canonicals data:
Are there any available stats of how many people have Lubuntu installed,
what version and what type of hardware.
That could also be a usefull guideline to estimate a average and a
minimal spec of machine that is in actual use by actual people. ...Who
actually have Lubuntu up and running.
This may be a better guideline then all of our guess work combined.
We should not dwell on too old hard ware too long, but if there is a
userbase out there then it would be a shame if we leave them hanging.
They then will install another OS, and might never come back to Lubuntu?
