Thanks Scott (0) and gold-finger (again!).
It's good to know there are other Linux OSs which don't need a CPU with pae in it. I have had a quick look at LXLE (which is based on Lubuntu.....). Seems quite appealing although it appears that the only way of downloading it is via torrent, which I have never used, and it's not clear whether that delivers an ISO image which I can run as a LiveCD to try it out. Still, I might give it a go.
In case others are wrestling with the same questions as me, I did find this site which suggests another route to follow (at least if you want Ubuntu on an an older non-pae system). I post the link in case it is of interest or use to anyone. It is here http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-in...n-pae.html
