Hi,

ubiquity will not work with 128Mb of RAM. After the alpha 1 is out, we may
be able to get Julien to install ZRAM into our alternate installer for us
to give it a try. Browsers have also grown over time, to the point where
lubuntu dropped Ffox and switched to Chromium. Ffox has been on a strict
diet and now handles low RAM machines better, hence the switch back.
Lubuntu are beholden to no application, we will seek out the lowest
resource one for all areas and use it!

Regards,

Phill.
