@ Greg Faith, #55
Yours is a thought, and it's a helpful thought, but it's a thought directed at helping someone who knows what they're doing and is looking for a workaround. Ubuntu aims at inclusivity, geeks who know where to find answers can use workarounds, but for every geek there are many non-geeks who try this alternative to Windows they've heard about and will bail out in disgust at the first hurdle.
@Erick, #53
Will the ubuntu installer just fall over, or will it detect the lack of PAE and give sensible advice, such as pointers to the variants you mention?
My view is unchanged (#47): #39 Henry really hits the nail on the head. Isn't the second part of his post the best way forward, for everyone?
