Distro that does not require PAE
Are there any CURRENT Linux distros that do not require PAE? Ubuntu started requiring it about 1 year ago, so now all Ubuntu and it's children will not work on older computers without it. PAE was left of most of the mobile pentium chips including a few dual core ones. So this means that what are IMHO perfectly good Linux laptops are out of luck. Any information appreciated.
