There's no need to get defensive, my friend. I was simply expressing my approval of Debian's management decision to continue to support non-PAE processors, as opposed to Ubuntu's management decision to drop support for non-PAE processors. Besides, this is a Debian list, not an Ubuntu list. Praise for Debian, when they do something right, is entirely appropriate here. > > Ubuntu Linux was the only operating system that could be found, other > than MS Windows 8, that has the necessary drivers for this computer. I doubt that. Ubuntu enables non-free drivers and non-free firmware by default, Debian does not. But the drivers are available in Debian, if you know where to look. But I do not wish to argue about it. Peace. -- .''`. Stephen Powell <zlinux...@wowway.com> : :' : `. `'` `-
