Then it shouldn't be called a "requirement" or be labeled as a "minimum".  
Saying minimum and requirement says to me that the thing won't work 
without it.  That is what "reccommended" tells me; it should be the 
difference between won't work and works comfortably.  

This is all mental gum-flapping anyway.  The processor is an Athlon 900, 
so it is not a minimum spec processor.  I have a development system and a 
production system.  The one I tested 8.0 on was from a bunch of parts 
sitting in the corner.  It was intended to be little more than providing a 
serial console on which the development machine could log messages.  It 
doesn't even have a keyboard or monitor attached in normal use.  Mostly 
I'll be telnetting in.  Since I've never had to do it, I need to find the 
HOWTOs in order to figure out how to do the serial console and export my X 
session to another machine on the same network.
