Uhhhh.....that's a little off. If it were skewed, it would offer the
same few no matter what you choose. The point of this distribution
chooser seems to be that it offers suggestions based on your answers.
Their answers on machine speed obviously vary due to criteria on the
back side. What's that criteria? Who knows. Maybe they just input
what the distro says it works _best_ with rather than the minimum
required. Although a search of their site turns up
CPU i486 or later Memory 64 MB Diskspace 1.5 GB (excluding swap space)
Swap space At least 256 MB as the minimum. That's pretty slow and old.
But I still think it's trying to do what's best based on your
responses....not force you one way or another. Maybe ask the author
what/where they are getting criteria from?
