Very true; I tried to run the Live CD on 128MB of RAM and it would boot, but crash trying to load Gnome.  (As an aside, I went on to install Xubuntu on that machine and it runs like a dream.)  I always make a point of mentioning that to people when I show them the Live CD: "It's really not slow like this!"  Maybe some parenthetical remark on the system requirements to that effect may be in order.

Great work, Martin!  These do look excellent!

There is also a specs difference between the LiveCD and the install, installed ubuntu is quite nice on 256MB ram, but the Live CD I suspect takes more, I've also noticed great improvements in speed when the swap drive is taken into consideration.

For the SVGs you can edit it in a text editor be careful not to change anything in <> and you should be able to correct any text mistakes.

I know there are tools which will also strip out text from an SVG file.

Hi

Couldn't send the svg to the group mailing list because of size restrictions. So am just sending the body of the message.

Hi Martin,

There are a few spelling and grammatical errors in the text --perhaps if 
you can send the text, I would be happy to do the proofreading/editing 
for you. I tried editing the svg file as attached but somehow may have 
changed the graphics as i am not used to working with inkscape.

Hope the changed svg suits the purpose. I had also changed the system 
requirements (since I have also seen the system is too slow at what you 
had written-- I tested it on a toshiba p2 750 mhz 128 mb ram 20 gb disk 
laptop and also a p2 500 mhz, 128 mb ram, 40 gb desktop and it was 
awfully slow specially the gnome/x gui. Have also tried it on a dell 
desktop --p3 1.7ghz, 256 mb ram, 80 gb disk and there also it was slow 
till the ram was doubled to 512 mb. So it needs atleast 512mb ram and a 
p3 to work effectively. Winxp runs faster for similar systems since i 
had a dual boot partitioned system on the dell machine in my office 
computer. Maybe we need more tweaking of ubuntu. I have tried damn small 
linux (kernel 2.4.x something) and fedora core kernel 2.6.15 also and 
they somehow seemed faster or were specially tweaked/optimised for 
working only a few select applications.

The fedora core machine was in a cybercafe in Toronto and though I tried 
to get the hardware specs (it was a 686 machine), I couldn't fiddle much 
without arousing suspicion. The kernel was more advanced than the 
standard available in breezy badger (2.6.12 or something) though firefox 
version was older than the ubuntu 5.10.

Ram is key to speed for a unix/linux system though the cpu also is.
