Hi Nio, Julien et. all. we have in the past mentioned community re-spins of lubuntu and when you are happy with the README, I am happy to host the iso and see no reason not to include a mention of both the use of fake-pae and of a 13.04 community re-spin so that people do not need to use fake-pae. The thing about linix is 'choice', give people the choice and let them decide. Use fake-pae if they already have an install of 12.04 that they want to run through two dist-upgrades and the non-pae 13.04 for those who are installing for the 1st time. I see this as a "win - win" situation.
