Debian Release Mgr. Proposes Dropping Some Archs 377
smerdyakov writes "In this story posted by Andrew Orlowski of the Register Debian Release manager Steve Langasek has announced that support will be dropped for all but four computer architectures. Among the reasons cited for doing this are improving testing coordination, 'a more limber release process' and ultimately a ('hopefully') shorter release cyle. The main architectures to survive will be Intel x86, AMD64, PowerPC and IA-64." Actually, the story says clearly that this is only a proposal at this point, but it's definitely something to watch.

Sweet christ...move out of mom's basement and learn what it is like to kiss a girl. There is ZERO reason to keep these ancient systems running. Recycle the things or donate them to a museum.

If by toaster you mean a 3GHz x86 CPU, which gets hot enough to almost be a toaster, then you're in luck.
