How about an answer to my question?
Running an unsupported operating system is a really, really bad idea:
a. Security issues
b. No new hardware support (what happens when your printer dies? You won't just be able to use a new one)
c. Support on the forums will dry up as people forget what 10.04 was like, and forget its quirks and no longer be able to give you any useful help. Heck, I think we've already passed that point.
Just because there are no supported versions of Ubuntu that work on your computer, does not mean you are stuck with Ubuntu 10.04. There is Xubuntu 12.04 and Lubuntu 12.04 which support non-PAE CPUs. Have you tried those? There are also modern Linux distros that have been built from the ground up for older computers.
I try to treat the cause, not the symptom. I avoid the terminal in instructions, unless it's easier or necessary. My instructions will work within the Ubuntu system, instead of breaking or subverting it. Those are the three guarantees to the helpee.
