Again, you are missing the point, these machines are not desktop PCs
&gt;<i> running a GUI, any modern Linux distro still runs perfectly fine with
</I>&gt;<i> 64-128MB and 10-15 year old cpus when used for many headless purposes.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
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?


&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> There is no reason to artificially block Mageia from running on these
</I>&gt;<i> machines (and their are far more common than you think).
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
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 dismantled
carefully.


&gt;<i> When planning a distro you need to think inclusion, not exclusion.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>I'm not speaking about exclusion but about including or optimizing for arch
and hardware that NOBODY will use anymore, because can't.
