Question-probably naive, but anyway- why don't we keep an 'old kernel' package
for those with older CPUs?
I don't see that it would need maintenance-that's just what it is-dead weight

Tell me if I'm wrong. But I vote to ditch PAE with th default
And while we examine the fluff in our belly buttons.
Can I ask once again that instead of grieving over non-pae chipsets that we

I really cant see why you're all (except dear JM ;) crying after
obsolete hardware.
If this kind of decissions are never made, People will never
recycle these power hungry computers with more decent ones.
What I've been keeping eye on Ubuntu, it has lost support for older
