I currently use a Dell Latitude D500 laptop, equipped with a Pentium M
processor. I was able to install 13.04 by creating a custom USB startup
disk and following directions from http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-
to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html and using newer non-PAE kernels
from http://bazzar.launchpad.net/~webtom that matched 13.04. I should
have created an ISO for everyone who didn't want to go through the
process theirself, but hind-sight is always 20/20!

I was very surprised to come accross this thread and see how many other
users were having to deal with this issue! This hardware is not trash
yet, it actually runs Ubuntu 13.04 quite nicely, however I am planning
on doing a downgrade and repurposing this machine as my daily user
(which is how i ended up here, downloading Luiz's ISO), thanks Luiz!

I am a programmer by profession and a Linux lover by heart. If there is
anything I can do to help with this situation, I would be glad to. I'm
sure that if a few of us team up and make a solid effort, we can get
something done about this issue.

Anyone else interested in getting this issue taken care of, please
message me ASAP!
