Goddamnit. Just when I was thinking of upgrading my machine.
Don't worry, I've heard good things about the Pentiums. Just make sure to use the turbo button for multimedia!
I had a Pentium 100 in 1996, 30 years ago, surely they will think of the kids
If I understand it correctly it will be 40 years old by the time LTS ends right?
Doesn't want to support old CPU's, still uses the telegraph. Talk about double standards.
What was the last version of Linux, that had a mainstream distro able to run on a 486?
