FASTER: LIGHTER BETTER
This issue we’re looking at how Linux distros are made to support older hardware, how they’re tuned to run on lowmemory systems and generally run faster on limited hardware. With more mainline distros cutting thirty two bit support − even though it appears thirty two bit systems still account for around twenty per cent of PCs out there − the question is how much longer will
up-to-date software be available for them? Of course, we can’t all stand still software wise, so we’re looking at the latest Gnome distros. The latest developments with the Linux audio and multimedia layer Pipeworks. Explore
