Thanks for the heads up; I have just joined the x86 list on your prompting.
Quite welcome! Welcome aboard!
For my part I have a lovely, powerful, 64-bit desktop/gaming machine
but my
laptop is an old 32-bit Celeron M with 2G RAM. The latter is mainly used for
email (this was sent from it) and it is plenty powerful enough for
everything I use it for. There's no gain in spending money to upgrade it so
any such spare funds would go to improving the desktop machine. A new
graphics card perhaps. Nevertheless I greatly value being able to run the
same distribution (currently F26) on both. If I need to change the
distribution on the laptop to say, Ubuntu, I'd probably end up changing the
desktop over too.
Agreed. Why replace something that works perfectly well. These
machines are still great for running everything from e-mail and music
servers, to casual browsing and e-mail. Plus, can't beat free. :)
I do realise this is of little consequence to the Fedora project, but
as you
asked I thought I'd throw in my 2¢ worth.
Definitely appreciate your 2¢ worth. One of the reasons this issue has
come up is because it is quite difficult to quantify how popular a
feature is within Fedora. The more people who are (positively) vocal
about the parts of Fedora that are important to them, the more desire
there is within the community to support that feature. So thanks!
