Hello again amjjawad, Well, the link doesn't say and I don't say that 700MB is the minimum requirement for Lubuntu, only to install using the desktop iso with a graphical installer.
"Alternate ISOs are for low-RAM PCs. Computers with less than 700 MB of RAM are considered low-RAM computers. Here is a screenshot of the alternate installer. Instructions here and here." and "* Desktop (Graphical Installer) - These versions are suitable for PC's with over 700 MB of RAM. Do not try to install 64 bit on a 32 bit machine. Installing 32 bit onto 64 bit is totally safe. * Alternate: a non-graphical installer image used for computers with less than 4.3GB hard disk space and below 700MB RAM. Use the alternate versions for non-standard setups. * Minimal install: Using the minimal ISO, it is possible to install and run lubuntu-core on a PC with only 64 MB of RAM. 128 MB of RAM are considered the minimal requirements for a usable Lubuntu Desktop system." I agree that Lubuntu 12.04+ works well, once installed, with for example 512 MB RAM.
