Run GNOME on a 300MHz machine with 32M of RAM. The terminal is a
wonderful thing and you will use it more than Nautilus on that hardware.

Please remember as we are going through this process that there are a
lot of refurbished computers out there just waiting for Linux and GNOME
to come and brighten up their lives. Keep it looking swish and wonderful
on the latest hardware, but make it runnable on the little boxes as
well.
