| |
Greetings,
Setting aside the likely "2.0 is obsolete" / "the performance won't be as good" answers for a moment, is there any functional reason not to run a 2.0.3X kernel on a PIII? We're testing some proprietary code which runs under Linux 2.0 and has not yet been ported to 2.2, and we'd like to test it on a PIII. I am aware that there are probably lots of CPU optimizations/features which will not be supported, but the main thing I'm concerned about is functionality: things like untrapped CPU-specific bugs, device-driver imcompatibilities, etc.
thanks, -bp -- # bryan at terran dot org # http://www.terran.org/~bryan
