<div dir="ltr">For those of you who are wondering, the reason older machines can't run 12.10 or 12.04, it's because the kernel uses PAE (it's a method to have more than 4 gigs of ram on a 32-bit operating system I think), and for those of you who have hardware that doesn't support PAE, the two good alternatives are LXLE and Fedora (LXDE spin). If you want something more upstream, go with the Fedora, but if for some reason you ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO have that Debian/buntu experience I'd go with LXLE (Lubuntu Extra-Life Edition), it's Lubuntu 12.04 with a couple of tweaks, and it uses a non-PAE kernel. I've tried and used both of them, and and Fedora is a bit more vanilla LXDE so I prefer it, but both alternatives are awesome!</div>

<div>As you know/may know, each release has different Kernel [2]. Some machines can't use 12.04 or 12.10 because the support had been dropped/stopped. So, if you guys have Qs about that, you do now know who is doing the test and experiments.</div>
