Hi everybody,

Please have a look at the new text at

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu#System_Requirements

I hope it will be a good compromise to make you happy. Of course I am
willing to change things, anything from bad information, bad layout to
typing errors.

Please check also the sub-page

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/AdvancedMethods

and give the corresponding feedback!

Best regards
Nio
