All of those work just fine, at least the current versions.
All the more reason to try.
So, my routers and switches and ip-kvm's that have closed source not updateable firmwares with embedded webservers that rely on specific, old versions of java on the client, or even specific old versions of IE and ActiveX on the client,: I should just replace all those? Or the current versions of java/chrome/firefox includes emulation modes that accurately mimic IE6 running ActiveX from years ago, or java 1.4 ? Or this change wouldn't actually break wine and old java? Or I should maintain a special laptop or vm image that doesn't update past today and do all future network admin through that? Currently I have to use actual java 1.4 for some cisco switches and actual IE6 in Wine for some ATI ip-kvms. Cisco still exists, but they haven't updated the ios image for those switches in years. ATI still exists but they got out of the remote access hardware business years ago and only updated these devices firmware once shortly after release and never again. There are others. And that's just the java/chrome fraction of the discussion. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
