Longest LTS - still SL/RHEL?

I was sad to learn that there will not be a 32 bit version of SL7 / RHEL7 . I run older T60 laptops with 3x4 aspect ratio screens, and have a stockpile of spares and screens and keyboards that should last a long time. I dislike "runt screen" AKA wide screen displays. However, my venerable laptop

Re: Longest LTS - still SL/RHEL?

You probably should use the November 30, 2020 date instead of the 2023 date for replacement planning purposes. There might be some embedded distros with longer LTS, but I am not aware of any general purpose desktop or server distro with a longer LTS than Redhat EL and distros based off of it.

To be honest that laptop as well made as it was is getting to old for developers to worry about supporting.That said there are always distros that focus on running on older hardware. I don't know the current list of good ones to try but you can fi

Re: Longest LTS - still SL/RHEL?

Hi, 32b supp is planned up to 2020 (RH supp for 6x) I think this should be enough for any HW to live up to it's expectations. The laptops you talk about are 6+ yrs old now ... will be 12yrs then. After that its museum piece :]. I for one am quite content with 32b supp. drop. Will save some devs

Mate users list

Is there a users list (similar to this) for Mate, the Gnome 2 environment for those who do not want Gnome 3 or KDE Plasma? This could be an EPEL or other re-packaging/porting entity users list. Yasha Karant

Re: Longest LTS - still SL/RHEL?

We've been validating very high resolution laptops for our CAE products. I work at Altair. A bunch of laptops are coming out that can do 3840x2160. Would that resolution meet your requirements? I realize the aspect ratio is still off. On Dec 15, 2014 7:51 PM, "Keith Lofstrom" wrote: > On Mon, D
