Wow, leave it to the world of Redhat to abandon 64 bit processors less than 20 years old. I don't know what your use case is, but perhaps Void Linux would suit your needs. It works all the way back to Pentium 4 (SSE2) i686 32 bit, requiring only 96MB (0.1GB) of RAM. Obviously to run big browsers and desktop environments you'll need more, but this gives you an idea. https://docs.voidlinux.org/installation/index.html#base-system-requirements SteveT Steve Litt Autumn 2023 featured book: Rapid Learning for the 21st Century http://www.troubleshooters.com/rl21 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
