HI<br>
<br>
There is no need to over react, they can still work using 12.04,
but there is also a way to do it with 13.04 with a little of work.
An important number of old Thinkpads use a Pentim M processor (as
in the case of Joan) so the are afected by this problem which is
the following:<br>
<br>
"A number of older <a class="http"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_M_microprocessors">Pentium
M</a> processors produced around 2003-4 (the ones with 400 MHz
front side bus) do not display the PAE flag, and hence a standard
installation fails. However, these processors are in fact able to
run the latest (and PAE-demanding) kernels if only the installation
process is modified a little. "<br>
<br>
As stated in <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE">https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE</a>, also there are
the options you can choose and the procedure to follow, of course
in step 6 you can choose and put xlubuntu-desktop instead.<br>

<div>By the way, I think we also need to clarify the
CPU type and whatnot. (There are still lots of
things about CPU's that I don't understand.)<br>
<br>
I tried installing 13.04 on an old IBM ThinkPad and
it wouldn't install because the CPU is missing
something, apparently. (It runs on and Intel Pentium
M 1600 MHz.)<br>

Something about <span style="font-family:courier

part though so this might be irrelevant.<span
