[lubuntu-devel] non pae

[Phill. Whiteside]

Thanks Nio,

I've prepped up the +1 page 'Advanced Methods' page for our upcoming 16.04
LTS [1]. From my reading of the page, it is mainly to see if there has been
further 'RAM creep' for the minimum required from 14.04 to 16.04.

Comments from you (and everyone else) greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Phill.
