@MNLipp, I completely sympathise with your view. I even know of FOUR of
my acquaintances that have run into this problem, using non-PAE
machines. If I know of four, how many zillions are there out there
who'll also encounter this and struggle with it? Especially since I'm
in the UK, not exactly a 3rd world country where reuse of older machines
would be more common.
Ubuntu == humanity to others? Maybe in the past, but clearly not now.
MNLipp, I think this issue has been discussed at length and I see no
hope of the attitude being turned around. At least with Linux we have
choices. Perhaps Debian will remain more inclusive. Or Mint. Or ...
And yes, I think making this a duplicate of bug #897786 is wrong. The
other bug appears to me to be about a need to revise installers because
of the crazy decision to drop non-PAE, whereas this bug is flagging up
that the decision is crazy. Though, crazy or not, reversing the
decision is as likely as turning around an Intercity Express by standing
on the tracks waving a red flag. :(
