We had that discussion before but I can tell you are new to our mailing
list so allow me to explain briefly about that :)

Some old machines has *NON-PAE CPU*. If you have a Linux Distribution with
a *PAE Kernel*, then that system will not be bootable on a machine with
NON-PAE CPU.

During the development of 12.04, both Xubuntu and Lubuntu teams decided to
go for a NON-PAE Kernel (Generic Kernel - run "uname -r" in the terminal)
so those users with NON-PAE CPU will not have any problem and they still
can use Lubuntu and Xubuntu 12.04.

Ubuntu Kernel Team has decided to drop the NON-PAE Kernel and go for PAE
Kernel.
As per Julien, we can't go against that unless we hire a developer who can
make it possible.
We don't have any database/numbers of how many users over there with a
NON-PAE CPU, that is why I asked :)

Hope it helps :)
