Linux and Free Software :: Should the Lnx Community support 98 and ME users?

I used to have some sympathy for Microsoft. But when I heard Microsoft bought SCO so it could bring a lawsuit against linux, that all changed.

You are ball of mushy oatmeal, pigdog! So...you have one minor problem and spend the next several weeks bitching and trolling? If you just go away it will make everyone happier.

Marcus = B_A_D = Onikage

Just go away already.

Milkshaw? Because you mention Markus I'm hoping you just accidentally posted here with that nastygram?

If not what did I do or not do?

There was another post after yours. Honest there was!

I actually feel sorry for 98ME users. When 98 came out I thought it was the best OS in the world, then it could'nt keep up with the soft/hardware and ofcourse the 64k resource stack thingy was the final straw. I'd been looking for alternate OSs since then. BEOS was promising, but this was just another example of a closed product go bust and losing support with it. Linux is different, it is open which means diversity. Some complain about too many 'flavours' of Linux, but this is the whole point. You 'can' have a 98 emulator version, you 'can' have a 'Suse' or 'Gentoo' flavour, who's to say not? Linux is bigger than windows, or, damnSmaller ;-) But let's not forget Linux is there because of it's community. How can we ignore 98ME users especially since some of us once were? I'm not saying we should target the 98ME environment, but if we can alleviate some of their problems wether through mydsl apps or hdinstall tips, maybe they'll go off to make something of their own? (and leave us alone :E !)
