Forgot to add:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/linux-image-generic
http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/linux-headers-generic
Note that both amd64 and i386 are supported and available.

That would be:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/quantal/linux-generic-pae
Note that only i386 is available (for obvious reasons)

PAE on i386 is the default. However, there should be no reason that Liam
can't install and run the non-pae kernel (well except if his Thinkpad
X31 can't support a newer kernel).
