Hi Nio, Phill and everyone :)

Since we have nothing serious going on here, I thought to start this 
discussion which should be helpful for ToriOS at the end of the day :)

So, let's see ... I'm a bit confused of what we do have. By 'we', I mean 
the community or the group of people who are interested in 'Old 
Hardware' and that applies to Lubuntu, ToriOS, etc.

Not sure if everyone is aware of this or not but there you go:

Phill and Nio, both were and still very keen to work on finding a 
solution for old machines that are no longer supported with newer 
released of Ubuntu and eventually Lubuntu, Xubuntu, etc.

Nio was working hard on the Non-PAE part.
Phill was working on new community re-spin for Lubuntu.
We're no different here as ToriOS community as we have the same target - 
support old machines.

I'm trying to understand more about this .. I'm lost because of so many 
emails have been sent and I'm not sure what is going on.

So, how many Kernels do we have here?

Will 14.04 default Kernel support the Non-PAE machines by default?
What is the difference then between that and the Kernel that Phill and 
Bodhi Zazen were/are working on?
How all that could help ToriOS so that we don't really have to re-invent 
the wheel?

There are 3 different paths/directions and at the end, all these meet on 
one point (support for old machines) but still these paths are a bit 
different so:

1- We need to understand more about these 3 paths.
2- We might have mutual collaboration to reduce time and effort
3- We, as ToriOS Community now need to understand how different we could 
be and what we could offer?

Sorry if my words seem crazy or unclear ... I couldn't sleep well with 
all what is going on recently with my real life so forgive me if I'm 
creating more confusion here while trying to understand what is going on?!

I asked for a meeting with Phill and Nio. Sorry for not catching up with 
you, guys.

Do you prefer a Google Hangout Meeting? or an IRC one? Phill, I know 
your answer already but in both cases, I want the meeting to be 
recorded. Yes, I know how to do that on both platform (Google and IRC) - 
I just need to know which one you prefer?

Also, if anyone would like to join us, that is good too :)

We need to re-think and re-consider our options because I want to save 
time and effort. If there is something useful of what Phill and Nio and 
others have done so far, I see no reason why we don't use that as well :)

Saving time, energy and effort is a target for any project in the world.

Thank you!
