Slashdot reports that Linux kernel won’t support 386 machines no more. This is more of a sentimental announcement for nostalgic reasons. The commentary is hilarious and insightful, as often with Slashdot.
Unfortunately there’s a nostalgic cost: your old original 386 DX33 system from early 1991 won’t be able to boot modern Linux kernels anymore. Sniff.
It’s been a long while sine I saw even a 486 machine. The last 386 I can remember is probably circa 1998 or so.
