I got a laptop which is some 6-7 years old. Processor is Intel Pentium M Processor 1600 MHz
The laptop has 2G RAM and 40G hard disk. When I tried to install ubuntu 12.04, It can not boot with the OS itself. Showed the following error. <quote> This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU. </quote> Searched on net and found that ubuntu 12.04 is not supporting this processor. I tried with lubuntu, xubuntu and older ubuntu versions upto 11.10 http://askubuntu.com/questions/117744/how-can-i-install-on-a-non-pae-cpu-error-kernel-requires-features-not-present Finally, tried the latest PCLinuxOS 2013 It installed without any issues and running fine with the neat KDE environment. It comes with all the media codecs and all media/games/utilities/office applications providing a complete desktop. Thanks for the PCLinuxOS community Thanks for Linux For You Magazine for proving a DVD with PCLinuxOS. -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free/Open Source Jobs : http://fossjobs.in Get CollabNet Subversion Edge : http://www.collab.net/svnedge _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
