Mad Penguin reports about the low spec version of Ubuntu

Ubuntu Lite, by contrast, is said to work with 64MB of RAM, and if need be, it can even work with as little as 32MB of RAM. Considering the advantages demonstrated by other Lite Debian-based distributions, it could very well open up some doors for folks looking to make the switch, yet not possessing up to date hardware.

In reality, what is the key difference here? I see two major differences. The first is the desktop environments being selected. Xubuntu is using Xfce; whereas, IceWM is the desktop of choice with Ubuntu Lite.
