Actually, can we get rid of it entirely?
On the old site we worked to remove references to Xubuntu being
optimized to run on older hardware because there are concerns about
how well it actually does out of the box - too many reviews were being
written with "this is supposed to be light-weight, and it's not"
slants that weren't painting the distro in a great light. I think it
would be good to focus on how great of a multi-purpose distro it is in
general rather than mentioning older hardware and possibly setting
folks up for disappointment, particularly if their definition of
"older" differs from ours.
Hey,
that's an option too. I don't necessarily want to say "older hardware",
as many people think that it means any computer ever built.
On the other hand, since Xubuntu has gathered this reputation of being
light (whether it was true or false), it would be nice to not just
change the direction suddenly - at least seemingly. This is why I'd
like to keep it, and also since we are getting light(er) again, compared
to Ubuntu for example.
Any ideas on how to express that Xubuntu works with say 5-year old PC's
too, but probably not with anything really ancient?
