Need 32-bit Linux to run past 2038? When version 5.6 of the kernel pops, you're in for a treat

Re: Can someone...

Happened to a Mac Performa I had in storage. Checked it one month , worked fine. Checked it again 6 months later , wouldn't even switch on never mind boot. Opened it up and the battery had leaked all over the PCB corroding everything. Had to scrap the machine , it was beyond saving. My own fault for not checking but still bloody annoying that they'd put the battery in a place where it could cause such damage and for using a battery that would expire in that manner.
