Why not? Why needlessly alienate some potential users for little gain? I personally believe that one of the reasons some vendors may not "support" older architectures is to limit their having to handle "support" of old hardware. If you're distribution is compiled for, say, a Pentium or better, you eliminate hard to find 386 and 486 computers and hardware that you may have to keep in a lab someplace to do regression testing and reproduce problems. Also, if an user has some old 486's that they need continued support, your distribution is out of consideration if it requires a newer CPU. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ed Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2004 11:37 AM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: x386 in Fedora Core 2? Why is Fedora going to be still compiled for 386 architecture? I would think that it would be bumped up a peg or two. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
