Yes, we can do a lot to help others who really want to learn how to use
computers--in our own neighborhoods, as well as third-world countries.
However, I think that Red Hat is trying to run a profitible business, and we
all benefit when they are.  I think that Trond was trying to say that it
doesn't make _financial_ sense for Red Hat to concentrate their
money/developers/etc. on a low-end (=low memory) install, because they won't
reap the benefits.  How many of those people using RH on low-memory systems
will actually buy a Red Hat distribution?  If you get things going, I will
volunteer my time/resources.
