@Carlos:Regarding the links to Fedora and RHEL. You just have to replace the beginning of the URL. The path should be the same. The work will then go pretty fast. Means you only have to change the original server address to: https://archive.fedoraproject.org/ the rest should stay the same Okay, replaced the Fedora links, they were really dead, with the exception of Fedora 31 and 32, those are still alive. (Which means, Fedora 29 and 30 are no longer supported, i've changed their support status to unsupported.) However, i've checked RHEL 3 and 4 and those entries' links were already the same you suggested. CentOS were okay too.@Carlos:I dunno why IBM goes this way. But we should wait until the details are published. But I suppose it is due to the fact that in the future both DDR4 and DDR5 RAM can be used. I also read that more and more manufacturers are going over to using blobs in their memory controllers. Regarding POWER10 it is perhaps about this one:
https://www.synopsys.com/dw/ipdir.php?ds=dwc_ddr54_controller Now it makes more sense; the memory controller is so sophisticated, that it needs it's own software. Okay. I guess, until there is no direct bypass to the ethernet from there, it would be pointless to put anything malicious into it.@Carlos:There I had found the BeOS images at that time. Hey, thanks for the suggestion, i've found BeOS 3 and 4 links which were missing from the list and the BeOS 5 Personal Edition! And also a more proper OS/2 3.0 package. BTW, the list is now over 300 entry long. And only 59.935% is Linux, so nobody can accuse us of this being a Linux list. :P (I've actually read some opinions like that. On the other hand an OpenBSD user told me, that it is full of shit and by shit he meant not BSD or Linux...okay. :/ )@Carlos:But that reminds me, I wanted to look for YDL 7. Linux is quite scarce there, only a few old ones, like Mandrake or similar.@Carlos:Hey, I just found Red Hat Linux 6.2 for SPARC. But is it SPARC or SPARC64?

Release date was April 3, 2000. Thanks. No, this is 32-bit only too, but most Linux is, so i've added it. Actually there are no "normal" Sparc64 Linux which you can install on "everyday" desktop Sparc64 machines, with the sole exception of GNU Step. (Tested on Sun Blade 100, works.) And the Debian 9 and 10 betas with Tier-2 support only. There are a couple other entries with theoretical Sparc64 desktop support, like Fedora 12 or PLD Linux 2.0, but no images available...(and these are even more older than the now decade old GNU Step 2.0.) If you want a recent desktop Linux for Sparc64 then you have to build it for yourself with CLFS or T2 SDE. And support is nonexistent, the old ones are no longer supported, Debians are Tier-2 on Sparc64 and the builder distros always means you are on your own.
Sparc64 is definetely System V and BSD territory. |
