Hi Charlie,

I see your point and agree, it's like an iceberg, there is much more
than we see.

Have a look at these two wiki pages

1. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu-fake-PAE
2. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PAE

and ask here if you help! I'm sudodus at the Ubuntu Forums, and I am
developing Lubuntu-fake-PAE.

Best regards
Nio
