This is probably a very esoteric discussion, but the managers of the Ubuntulite and RULE projects are discussing combining efforts.
Ubuntulite, if you didn't know already, hopes to use Ubuntu as an option for out-of-date hardware (sub-200Mhz is the target machine), with Openbox as the window manager. More about that here (http://ubuntulite.tuxfamily.org).
The RULE (Run Up-to-date Linux Everywhere) has the same goal, but seems to prefer Fedora Core and KDE (I'll admit my ignorance on the inner workings of RULE). More on that here (http://www.rule-project.org/).
It's probably only of very oblique interest, but if you're someone who regularly works with pre-Pentium 4 equipment, you might be interested in how that shapes up.
Both communities are asking for comment now. On the Ubuntulite side of the house you can read the discussion between developers (managers?) here (http://ubuntulite.tuxfamily.org/?q=node/69), and comment here (http://ubuntulite.tuxfamily.org/?q=node/68).
