I'll go with 13. <br />You said: Maybe linux in whole family is deviating a bit from slogan: System for All, and is truing to reach commercial side of computer world "making OS for new hardware market" and this is the same as Microsoft but just the name remains fully free..." <br /> I fully agree with you on that point. There are still many of us Linux users out here who have access to nothing but dial-up and many Linux distros are dropping the dial-up app. What a bad decision! Yes, I know the newer kernels don't want to work with dial-up. But, there distros out there that handle this problem by using an "older" kernel. That "older" kernel is fine with me so long as I can get online. I also love to take so-called "outdated" computers (according to MS) which are still perfectly functional and run them until they die--instead of dumping them in a landfill. It's not about money; it's about being conservative and not wasteful of resources. Just my 2Cents worth.

Even a lot of other distro have the same situation. Maybe linux in whole family is deviating a bit from slogan: System for All, and is truing to reach commercial side of computer world "making OS for new hardware market" and this is the same as Microsoft but just the name remains fully free...! Even if you install on non-PAE version 13.1 and deciding to update to 14.0 it won't out. Anyway probably someone one day will compile an really universal OS, with many options and choices so it might work for all to all.Ardit Dashajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08439814846889096188noreply@blogger.com
