That's most definitely not the case. Linux did drop 386 support semi-recently, but 486+ should work fine, which includes all AMD K5+ processors (and probably their 486 clones as well). It could be that the ubuntu/whatever distro builds have done this, but not Linux as a whole. If you build your own kernel as I had recommended, you should be fine.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
