Its core has survived in the form of Mageia, which just released v9 a few weeks
ago.
Hopefully with support for recent hdwe. The last time I tried it, it
didn't like my then new AMD Phenom hdwe. That was 2 or 3 motherboards in
this tower ago, so I won't bad mouth today's. That Phenom must have been
happy running win-98 but was definitely unhappy running linux when
kernels were in the mid-2's. IRQ latencies ran in the 3 digits worth of
milliseconds range.
Take care & stay well, Felix.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
