I think this is a great opportunity, and I really hope people will be
happy receiving [many] new people.

Will they be happy installing Lubuntu in less than 100 seconds?

I was kind of frustrated, that in order to succeed with low RAM, most if
not all degrees of freedom are lost, and yet the [graphical desktop]
installer feels quite unstable. Yes, I admit that is is much better than
before with zRAM, but anyway, if there are no degrees of freedom you
might as well run a simple deterministic shell-script.

I will write more about it in a separate mail.

Best regards
