Does this mean that the kernel will never again support non-PAE CPUs? One of the great "selling features" of LINUX has always been that it would support very old hardware.

I am running XUbuntu 12.10 but with the old kernel (3.2.X). However, I cannot do any upgrades until the "Broken Packages" are fixed, namely the 3.5.0 kernel.

What is the recommended solution (other than throwing away my perfectly good eeePC)?

Is there another distribution that would be more suited to non-PAE CPUs that will be supported for years to come?

Thanks for any advice?
