Re: Minimum and recommended RAM to install Lubuntu Trusty

 

Hi all,

you may have noted that I have been quiet on this subject...

Two reasons...

1) I have my ideas and results

For Wiki, changes are made to sandbox areas.. This is the Gold standard of
wiki editing. You are that busy arguing like school kids about things that
you have forgotten some things.... all changes to live pages are made as
sandbox.

2) I am not the Team Leader of lubuntu wiki any more.
2.1) Anyone wishing to make such MAJOR changes to our front line pages
makes a test page 1st. You do NOT ever go edit a live page.
Get in touch with the team leader for wiki. Do not argue out stuff amongst
yourselves and then edit the wiki areas.... How DARE you.

You would never, ever, have dared do it when I was TL for wiki - I can
assure you, you will not do it with the new TL.

If you wish to put up for a vote who replaces sergio after 14.04 is
released, you may hold a vote. Until that time, he is boss and you do NOT
go editing live pages.

Phill.
