I fail to see the point of this. If you want to know how many Pentium M
cpus there are, then it is not a yes/no question. If this is about the
PAE problem then just asking who has a Pentoum M isn't going to produce
a accurate figure as not all Pentium M cpus suffer this problem.
There are a number of work rounds for this, the Fake-PAE patch, Thomas
Reith's non-PAE kernels and of cause, a different distro.
I've just installed the latest #! on my T42 laptop and will probably add
LXDE.
