Re: I run old hardware and am OK with it
"The overwhelming majority of a Linux "kernel" (i.e., kernel + device drivers + filesystems + IPC support + networking stack + ...) is not the CPU-specific support code."
By the same token, old hardware is usually old in it's entirety. A frozen in time system can make do with all of the software components frozen in time as well.
At some point people need to be dragged, as Sir Terry said, "kicking and screaming into the Century of the Fruitbat."
