With such a statement, you have quite accurately ruled out a lot of server installations.
do you expect more than 7 years old servers to install the very last distro? I have some of them, always running the same distro for 5 years now :-). it's already very difficult to install 11.3 on 256Mb ram computers, I don't expect to be able to do so with 11.4 but in fact the years number don't really matters, what matters is to say when we leave a hardware out. Supporting very old hardawre is not that easy (and the kernel already let alone some, including SCSI stuff - and always did) jdd -- Jean-Daniel Dodin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
