Here is my suggestion for how the minimum section should look. To *install* and *use Xubuntu* 20.04 or higher, you need a 64-bit processor with at least *512 MB of memory*. You can also *try Xubuntu* within athe USD or DesktopDVD with the same amount of memory. Keep in mind that running the system from a USB or DVD will be slower than an installed system.
When you install Xubuntu from the Desktop DVD, you need about 87.5 GB of free space on your hard disk. *Your processor* needs to *support PAE* in order to run Xubuntu 18.04 or lower.
