Slap all the distribution web masters

Argh!!! That's the feeling I've had, site after site, while looking for a new Linux distribution to run. I want to slap distro web masters silly because they've done something really dumb, failed to include a System Requirements link clearly on the home page. Hey boneheads, wake up, not everyone had a P4 3.4GHz box! We want to know if you're distro is one of those slow as a dog distros that only work on multi-GHz boxes with a zillion megs of RAM, or if it's run well in 256MB RAM?
