> I have a collection of old Linux game demos from late 90s and early 2000s and i tried them a couple of years ago in a modern distro Let me point again: I started the thread describing the opposite scenario: Developing a program and delivering the binaries to the clients, including those who installed the OS on their server farms 10 years ago and not upgrading them, and who expect the binaries to "just work" there too. That's why Red Hat and "Long Term Support" concepts exists: so that companies don't have to spend more time chasing the latest and greatest and totally irrelevant newest version of everything. One wants to be able to deliver the products to them too, and avoid developing only on these old system, working around the bugs that were solved years ago. The resulting binaries should just use what is available in kernel, and that's it. It's a real problem and it should be recognized.
