With respect to the new Lubuntu derivative:
There is a very nice web site about the Minimal Install CD:
http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal
At the end of the page, there are some terminal commands that install a very minimal set of apps after the OS has been installed. Is it crazy to think that, using those commands as a guide, the following would work?
sudo apt-get install xorg lubuntu-desktop
It seems, using that site as a guide, that it might work, but before I go out and buy an old refurb PC and screw it up, I would appreciate any technically competent evaluation. Thanks.

PS I used this site to look at what was IN the lubuntu-desktop:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/lubuntu-desktop
