Thanks.
I hadn't really looked in any of this for a few years since I used RAID to
combine 2 smaller hard drives into one larger volume. At work, I'm either just
a user of a remote server that uses netapp filers for storage, or am running
more disposable installs on lower end systems (with 1 h

As a bystander who just the other day saw this, no. It doesn't appear that
it will be a bleeding edge kernel. Just builds of the next kernel expected
to be in the next 8.X release. So you are getting updated features

I tried RHEL 3 (I believe) on a Pentium class system, and that did not work
well.
For everything but the kernel, there was a 386 version available (glibc,
ssl, etc), so we recompiled the kernel for the 586.
Unfortunately, glibc, when you compile it for anything below a 686, did not

If I had to guess, it would be that the OS is considered an "enterprise" OS,
and that the CPU is too low end, now, to be considered that. It is kind of low
end now for even personal use.
Not that people only use the OS for high end server hardware :)
At work, we still have to support 500MHz Pe

To bad I don't make purchasing decisions at work, or I would like a SSD for my
Linux system, probably to be upgraded to 6 later in the year.

Though thumb drives are flash, they tend to use a slower flash than what is
used in hard drive replacement units. I

Does anyone know what I would have to modify in 6 if I wanted to run on an
older Pentium M CPU without PAE? Is it just the kernel that needs to be
rebuilt (maybe while installed in a system with a supported CPU)? Or are there
other components that would cause problems and need to be rebuilt to

Anyone ever look into what would be required to support 16 bit PCMCIA cards
on 7?
There are still 64 bit computers out there with at least 1 PCMCIA slot.
