Hi Lance, Am I trying to swim in too deep water?
And yes, I know that the non-pae kernel was re-activated for Lubuntu and Xubuntu 12.04, but abandoned after 12.04. I was thinking this fix could keep the Pentium Ms running for a few more years with Lubuntu. I think work-arounds like starting with the mini-iso is not for the average user, that might want to migrate from Windows XP within a year (I'm thinking about amjjawad's campaign to offer Lubuntu to those people). Another alternative is ronniew's LXLE, that offers a full 5 year LTS of a Lubuntu fork. But if it is simple to make the modern kernel available for Pentium M, I think it is the best solution.
