Bear in mind that when wheezy+1 is released, wheezy will still be supported for some time. So the *actual* time that Debian removes support for this 15 year old chip would be after the release of wheezy+1. Also remember that you can continue to run an older release of Debian on old hardware, particularly if such old hardware is doing a relatively static job (such as routing), after stable support has ended. After that point, you can hand-backport things that you care about enough, for security coverage. > I think that would be a pity if Debian will not provide anymore a > kernel for this old cpus. I think it would be a pity if Debian was held back to support such a tiny minority of potential users. -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
