== Installation ==Kernel Selection:  linux-image-486, linux-image-586, linux-image-686-pae are all meta packages which will install one of the these two: linux-image-3.16.0-4-586 and linux-image-3.16.0-4-686-paeThe advantage to the meta package is that it will ensure that the kernel gets a release (version) upgrade - in a stable release this is not so important, but it's best to install the meta package anyway.585 kernel is for older 586 class CPUs while 686-pae is for newer 686 class CPUs with PAE/NX bit support. Find out if your CPU support PAE/NX and install the relevant kernel meta package.  PAE stands for Physical Address Extension. Normally a 32-bit OS will only be able to access 4GB of RAM while essentially using only 3GB. PAE enables 32-bit processors to access more than 4GB RAM.  NX stands for No Execute page protection. NX processor bit allows the processor to help and safeguard PC from malicious attacks.  See [https://www.technize.net/how-to-check-if-your-processor-supports-pae-nx-and-sse2-for-windows-8-installation/ Technize.net] for more info.
