Hiyas Jonatahan, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu#System requirements sums up the decision taken. stuff will need 'back-porting' but it is not an insurmountable task. The kernel is also supported as an LTS, so we have pleantly of time :) Dropping this onto such a small team as Lubuntu is was not 'pleasant', but everyone commited immediatetly to support the i585 series as an LTS, even though 10.04 was a 'stable beta'.
