its eco-vandalism to scrap old PCs

Whereas I would endorse that, the snag is that Lubuntu requires a PAE
CPU these days. I've tried the `forcepae` option and while it worked,
I encountered many problems -- no Wifi, screen corruption on resume
etc. This on hardware that worked flawlessly with 12.04.
