Description
===========
This is a VMware virtual machine built by Happy Penguin
Taiwan (http://happypenguin.tw/) for people interested in
Lubuntu 10.04.

Lubuntu is a fast, lightweight and energy-saving variant of
Ubuntu using the LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment)
desktop. It is intended to have low-resource system
requirements and is designed primarily for netbooks, mobile
devices and older PCs.

Host OS System Requirements
===========================
* Standard x86-compatible or x86-64-compatible PC
* Processor speed – 2.0 GHz or faster
* Memory – 1 GB minimum (2 GB recommended).
You must have enough memory to run the host operating system,
the virtual machine, and applications on the host and guest
operating systems.
* Linux, Windows or Mac OS X as host operating systems

Compatible Products
===================
VMware Player 2.5 or later
VMware ACE 2.5 or later
VMware ESX Server 4.0 or later
VMware Fusion 2.0 or later
VMware Server 2.0 or later
VMware Workstation 6.5 or later

HOWTO
=====
Just download the virtual machine archive, unpack it, open with
the free VMware player (http://www.vmware.com/products/player/)
and start running!

Virtual Machine Details
=======================
Processors: 2 CPUs (can add more later)
Memory: 512 MB (can be modified later)
Hardisk: 8.0 GB, dynamic (can add additional hardisks)
Ethernet: NAT (can be changed later)
VMware Tools: Installed
Resolution: 800x600 (can be changed later)

We recompile Linux kernel for optimization,
make it more compact and virtual machine friendly.

It should run faster and need less resources than
those only installed with default options.

Network Settings
================
IP, DNS, default gateway: auto configuring on boot by DHCP

That's it.
