That's right, the 386 is VERY old.
Back in the mid '80s, when the i386 was first announced, I was a computer tech, working on mini computers. At that time, the VAX 11/780 was the most powerful system I worked on. When the i386 was announced, it was reported to be as powerful as the VAX. It was then I realized that the days of mini computers were numbered and I should look to moving into other areas of work.
Is there anyone who's still running a 386 or 486? I only have one 32 bit system left here. It's an IBM Netfinity server with a Pentium III CPU. Everything else is 64 bit, including the 4 core with hyper-threading and 16 GB of memory that I'm using right now.
Our last 486 was decommissioned a couple of years ago, it was a firewall machine. I think it was running SuSE Linux 7.1. 32bit machines is a different story, I have plenty of stuff running 32bit. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
