Bug Description

On https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/i386/hardware-supported.html, in the CPU section, second paragraph, this sentence: "However, Debian GNU/Linux lucid will not run on 386 or earlier processors." is confusing. Is the sentence referring to separate entities, Debian, GNU/Linux and Lucid or is it referring to Debian GNU/Linux lucid as one group.

According to this, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/StyleGuide/StandardTerminology, the reference of "Debian GNU/Linux" is correct.

  * Apply Ubuntu branding to i386 "CPU, Main Boards, and Video Support"
    section; there's one remaining instance of "Debian", but it makes sense
    in context (LP: #689153).
  * Apply Ubuntu branding to "Braille Displays", "Hardware Speech
    Synthesis", and powerpc "CPU, Main Boards, and Video Support" sections
    (thanks, Mahyuddin Susanto; LP: #689157).
