Sometimes it is a compulsion. Perhaps you are not reading what he is saying. Not everyone is privileged as you are. In fact you may be surprised that most of the world is not. He will have to stick to 486 DX2 machines till the smoke comes out of them. And then perhaps he will need to buy used pentiums. Yes, that CAN be the reality in many places across the same planet that we all live in.

I’m looking to do a brief interview (can be done via email) with an educator or IT person using li-f-e for a post I’m writing at educationalit.com. Basically, I’d like to know how you’ve been using the distro, what you’re looking forward to in the new release, and, finally, why you picked openSUSE over, say, Edubuntu. Here’s my email: ellisbooker@gmail.com

So then tell us; or tell the software developer community – how long do you want to hang on to 7 year-old computers? 5 more years? 10?

Please provide a specific date/year that you would be willing to invest in the needed tools for your school.

No it isn’t. Many schools cannot afford to upgrade their hardware. I’m working with computer access to thousands of students in Africa, and to be honest, I feel quite disgusted by remarks from people just wanna shut down their software access to suit their own fancy new hardware.

Thank you for your work and dedication, I agree with your decision create this for 32 bit right now, not everys school system are running 64bit. Because they cant afford it. I know of schools in my district who have over fivew year old equipment. This will also be a boon for some the church sunday school teachers, Me for one. So thank you once again.

To get 64bit edition see FAQ here:

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Education-Li-f-e#FAQ

If there are enough users interested do get together and create 64bit edition and share with everyone, groundwork is already done all it needs is someone dedicated to take it forward.

I agree with DD. Having thin clients x64 based proccesors is a fact nowadays.

This version will run on x86_64bit CPUs, if you have more than 4G of RAM you can install kernel-pae to make full use of it.
