-=== Ubuntu 12.04 ===

-Installing Ubuntu 12.04 with the default installation media fails because the prepackaged kernel requires PAE suppport. PAE is an memory addressing scheme that allows 32 CPUs to access more than 4GB of ram. The Via C3 processors don't support this feature. Documented [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VIA_C3 here].  To resolve this a work around is documented [http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html here] and [http://askubuntu.com/questions/117744/how-can-i-install-12-04-on-a-non-pae-cpu-error-kernel-requires-features-not-p here]. The crux of their recommendation is to use the netbook mini.iso (Downloadable [http://www.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/ here]) installer (Which actually has nothing to do with netbooks as it is entirely capable of download the full desktop install) to do the installation. This installer uses the non-pae kernel (vmlinuz-3.2.0-27-generic) and does successfully install. The default install sets the quiet and splash kernel flags which may make it seem like the install failed.

-Mostly I've followed the directions for 11.10, however:
- 1. When installing the oml libraries, I ran into this error:
-    {{{
-The following packages have unmet dependencies:
- oml2-gpslogger : Depends: libgps19 (>= 2.90~svn6694) but it is not installable
-E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
-    }}}
-    For now, I'm just going to skip that package.
- 1. For now I'm also skipping the
-    {{{
-mv /var/lib/dhcp /var/lib/dhcp3
-    }}}
-    step, just in case it's no longer needed. If it is I will make a symlink instead. Still commented the send host name line however.
