UbuntuLite was made to bring the power of Ubuntu to the users of Legacy systems, not just to make a small linux as this has been done before (Puppy Linux, Damn Small linux, the Rule Project), nor to make a useable linux based desktop Operating system (that has been done with Ubuntu Linux, Beatrix)
The idea is to bring the power of Ubuntu to the typical users of Legacy hardware (ie the grandma who gets an old P2 set up for her but does not know how to use it).
UbuntuLite project aims are:
- Easily used by people with minimal computer skills
- Useable on a resurrected system (see system specifications below)
- Able to satisfy a typical user?s requirements of applications and functionality.
