Okay, but would you really be that pissed off if a Linux application from 1991 didn't run on your latest install of your favorite flavor of Linux?

- gcr 13y agoIt's important to remember that the Kernel is a very small piece of the puzzle that decides whether your 1991 binary works on a system today. The real kicker is whether the glibc versions match, whether X11/Motif will still be around for a while, etc. But I still admire the kernel for their stance even if it can't solve every compatibility problem.
