Another option to consider is not using Unity or Gnome3 but maybe LXDE or XFCE instead. Both of these are quite adequate for a machine control and general desktop use. I used Xubuntu on my router table because it took less resources, and it works just fine.
Another thing I thought of last time and it may be a good idea still, is to have a UP kernel and a SMP kernel and people could chose the one that works best for their computer. There may be a way to have the liveCD install pick the right kernel, but if not at least it could be an option in the repository for after the install. I'm willing to help work on the next release again btw if I can carve out a little time.
