So? Going away is going away. If you need feature Foo on an Alpha and only FreeBSD (or Suse) has feature Foo then support has gone away and you're stuck. > there's plenty > of your core market that is running older hardware, and there are plenty > of distributions for them to use. I have older hardware. I have hardware that Linux will never support. I have hardware that not even Net "Would you like toast with that?" BSD will ever support. > I believe all of my systems are currently AGP for video, though.

Intel has way too many bugs for my poor little brain to keep track of. I've known since ~1979 that Intel didn't care about its customers and that's all I need to know. Rest assured that no Intel CPUs are converting electricity into heat and incorrect answers here. Hmmmm, this has drifted a bit far from the OGP. I'd better cool it before I have to stay after school and write an APL to Verilog translator. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
