mint 17.1 says there is a non PAE option but I tried it and the install was really broken.
Cinnamon did not have a system tray at all, and other stuff was just off. So don't believe
the non PAE option for 32 bit linux mint 17.1 unless you want very odd install. Finally it became almost unusable. Rebecca is not for old machines like the D600, the boot menu non-withstanding.
I did put mint 13 on a toshiba, not the D600 machine which has the non PAE issue.
The mint 13 :64 bit on the toshiba is great.
