# Going out of our way to support old hardware and non-mainstream architectures
I don't agree with this one. Most of the world use daily such computers. Not any body is rich as US/european people
He sais we are going not to: going out of our way..
do you mean we have to support old hardware. If so say this clearly :-))))

He has to confirm himself, but if,
The question would be: what is old, and the answer would from PIV upwards. Personaly i know it will be difficult without hal and sax2... I know that it is still possible with the right amount of swap and ram, these old PIII and AMD K08 machines can 'walk', not 'run'... with oS 11.1/11.2, so a line must be drawn... i think even underdeveloped countries use above PIII level now, or in near future.... but, i might be wrong...
I think you're somewhat wrong - despite being 8-9 years old, a quad PIII Xeon does a very good job as a database machine, also today. Such a machine is clearly overdue for replacement, but that might mean investing EUR10K without getting any measurable benefits. For desktop machines it's a different story, no doubt. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.9°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
