We're getting off topic from the original intent of the OP's thread. But since you mentioned this ... I sure am glad that I use Debian and not Ubuntu. My IBM ThinkPad X31 laptop, which is still quite usable, would be a brick if I ran Ubuntu. It has a Pentium M processor in it, and that processor does not have the PAE feature. Long live pure Debian! And kudos to the Debian kernel team! -- .''`. Stephen Powell <zlinux...@wowway.com> : :' : `. `'` `-
