Your right Linux should be able to run on an i386 processor. I haven't
used anything less then a i586 for the past 15 years and Fedora doesn't
support anything less then an i586 by default but maybe there is an i386
kernel for Fedora someplace. I'll take a look.

Do you mean linux builds for i386 are getting unavailable ??
What about the so-called "universal" builds on every Live-cd; aren't
they built for i386 using recent kernels ?

That's one option but I am actually planning to replace my hard drive

Yes, I looked up the specs of your VIA chip and VortexBox does not
support it. Most modern versions of Linux will not support it. Why
don't you just keep using Ubuntu 6.10? That was working.
Your other option is to upgrade your hardware. You could get a bigger
drive at the same time. :)

I believe the Via C3 processor is only i386 compatible. I came across a
post on some forum where someone had tried without success to install

Zoltan,
The i586 kernel is on the VortexBox ISO. I have never tested it on an
i586 machine. But it should work.

My recollection of ubuntu desktop *updates*: version 5 -> 6 easy, 6 -> 7
terrible, 7->8 easy. I suggest checking the upgrade path beforehand if
you intend updating.
For me LTS seems a good choice, and the xubuntu environment, while
lighter than gnome, still is an overkill, if you can ssh to it fr

I took a look at this and it looks great but I think it's only for 686
compatible processors so the Via chip of my setup rules it out.
Thanks anyway for the suggestion.

I would recommend VortexBox. Most of the things you need are already set
up. Samba is already working, mplayer is already set up to work with
AlienBBC. You just install the iso and you done.
There is a software RIAD option during install and an option to span
drives.

I am about to embark on a similar upgrade myself. I am also on Ubuntu
6.10 and plan to upgrade to the latest LTS version through a complete

good catch. 8.04 is the LTS version. Current today is 8.10.
In April, 9.0 4 will be out.

if you are interested in Ubuntu's LTS, you need to install 9.4, not 9.10
(which is the latest and greatest).

note that Ubuntu also do a long-term-support release, which
Id recommend sticking with the Linux variant you are most comfortable
with. Debian or Ubuntu are most certainly a good choice, and well
supported. For a "SC-only system" there are certainly better (i.e.,
smaller footprint) builds like ClarkConnect or Fedora (which VortexBox
uses) but I think "fee

I have been up and running with my current system now for about two
years. Going with the philosophy of if "it ain't broke don't fix it",
I've pretty much left it alone which means I am now well out of date.
I am running SlimServer 6.5.2 on Ubuntu 6.10. The latter is a server
install and my hard
