Again, you are missing the point, these machines are not desktop PCs<br>
running a GUI, any modern Linux distro still runs perfectly fine with<br>
64-128MB and 10-15 year old cpus when used for many headless purposes.<br></blockquote><div><br>For instance? Apart DSL which distro can you start the installer with 64MB memory only (use 1GB swap?)? Were you able to install the 2010.1?<br>

There is no reason to artificially block Mageia from running on these<br>
machines (and their are far more common than you think).<br></blockquote><div><br>Common where? There are schools and universities are dismitting hardware like with P4/2.4Ghz and 512MB RAM for whatever use (either server or desktop). And even older hardware no-ROHS, which should be <span class="clickable"><span class="sg"><span class="se1"><span class="trn">dismantled carefully.</span></span></span></span><br>

When planning a distro you need to think inclusion, not exclusion.<br>
