How many IA-64 machines are still running at all? I never knew they even made that many in the first place!
@user68k they still support i686 which is crazy - i just installed it on a dualcore netbook from 2010 last week
Actually, if you check deep down in the list of installables, you'll find that Gentoo still supports the even less capable i486 variant. A laptop from 2010 is positively a spring chicken compared to some of the things it can be made to run on. Itanium is only being desupported because it's being dropped upstream by the kernel and other chunks of the toolchain (and the only actual hardware they had to test on died a while ago).
Good riddance.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
