Hi Jörn,

Do you mean for really old computers (pre Pentium II), that are not
helped by fake-PAE? If you know there are people who need them, yes it
is a good idea. (But I would think there are not many people trying to
run any Ubuntu flavour in such computers nowadays. They probably try
some linux distro with a really small foot-print. And there are such
kernels available, maybe it is enough to link to them or maybe provide a
mirror.)

I think fake-PAE is good enough to make the current 32-bit kernels work
well with Celeron M and Pentium M CPUs.

And there are 12.04 flavours and respins that promise long time support
until April 2017, PreciseGnomeClassicTweaks, LXLE and Bodhi plus Xubuntu
with LTS until April 2015.

Best regards
Nio
