I dont know anything about packaging and all but, if there was possible to make
Lubuntu compatible for i586 that would be great.
And if Canonical/buntu dont support it it would be nice if we could offer that.

I wasn't aware that there are still computers using i586. Do we know what CPU

Hiyas Julien,
Having had a chat, (oh and the forum went wild over the dropping of i586

kernel will be supported for 5 years, it's down to the devs to decide if
they will compile stuff for the LTS kernel.
