Ah, understand.  For the hardware the non-profit is getting donated,  
the existing installers that we have tried have worked fine,  
including FC4, CentOS, FeatherLinux, DamnSmallLinux, Debian, and  
Ubuntu.  So, a low-RAM installer is not an issue.  Instead, we are  
more focused on these other items:

1) a look/feel similar to Windows
2) simple to install application software.
3) simple to clone or script an install.
4) provide an obvious upgrade path.

I'm curious to know what others have tried.
