 I am confused.

Switch to Non-PAE to make the product more compatible with older hardware, but eliminate the non-SMP kernel and put the older hardware at a slight disadvantage?

The only difference is that the users won't have the opportunity to choose non-SMP or SMP if the SMP version results in a small performance hit.



 

Sincerely,
Paul Gorski

I think it would sense for us also, those with > 3.2GB RAM can always add PAE if they so wish.

I saw it also, and still thinking about it. My point to keep pae by default was because nobody else done the same. I didn't want to maintain this exception only for us, and to give work to people only for this.


Since Xubuntu switch to non-pae by default, and the change to do it for us is very small, I am starting to think that we should do the same. Or, I can't see any point to not switch to non-pae by default.

If it's true I wonder if Lubuntu shouldn't do likewise. I personally think it makes sense since one of our target markets is low resource hardware.

Maybe someone could ask Colin Watson's opinion?
