Yeah I ended up using YellowDog on my G3 Wallstreet all through college. It worked great for Linux on a Laptop for those days.

Wow, that one was rare. I don't think I ever saw but one Radius clone when I was doing on-site service.

Unfortunately, it went to the thrift shop many years ago, along with all the vintage UNIX workstations I wish I still had today. Haha. Hopefully, someone picked them up and they didn't just get recycled.

I think this was also the first "Linux" I ever installed. On one of those Tanzania clone, Motorola StarMax 3000s. I seem to recall, that it never booted through OF, at that point. I can't remember which version that was, p

Has Doordash actually went down during the pandemic? What has failed here in the infrastructure to allow this to happen, at least in parts of WA state?

Yes, can I please have System 7.1 or 7.5.3 back? I recently installed MAE on my SunBlade 2500 and it has been an amazing experience. A Classic Mac, without all the issues of HFS corruption from crashing out. Running 68k software at G4 sp

Still running our LaserJet 5si on the network for 11x17 pages. Been out of service (maintenance contract) for years, but it's still working fine with some light cleaning.

A 24-hr restart plan, sounds like a properly documented quality management process for a large boiler? Disconnecting the "Windows XP box" is removing the control system correct? Not really the same thing is it? There's no

The Wikipedia entry for FSO networking is pretty misleading. There have been commercial products on the market for quite a while.

For what it's worth, Windows 10 since 1809 has supported prompt-before-download for Windows Update, and corrected many of the other annoying "do as I want, not as I say," issues from previous releases.

Haha, I don't know if I buy that, since I've been around commercial EDA and ATE software, where you could have a decade of cruft and layered products to work on top of. But wider adoption of vendor tools such as MKL has certainly

>Who is going to be making heavy use of x87 or MMX (both obsolete) along with AVX-512 mask registers? It seems extremely unlikely. Wouldn't this be a performance issue if your linking an executable against libraries compiled for MMX

They wont because the PRODUCER value is wrong in the VSI licenses. But you are correct, that for most uses outside of commercial museum systems, its probably not much of an issue since there are license generators out there in the wild. It

They just can't do it due to licensing, without releasing their own VAX build of OpenVMS. That's not going to happen for obviously reasons.

I am aware. But the community has always been pretty strongly adverse to that kind of activity.

by vt240 7y ago
Unfortunately VSI will not be releasing any VAX processor support, so this will leave any hobbyists maintaining vintage systems in the lurch. From what I have seen, no one in the OpenVMS hobbyist community is really upset about this decisi
