Welcome to the CentOS fora. The following reading is recommended for new users:
Readme First Installing Software Where to Find Answers How to provide information about your system You are correct that the 4.8 links are deceptive - 4.3 (vintage 2006) was the last Alpha release. There are no updates to current release levels available. Can't give you a definitive answer on 32/64-bit but I think it was 64. Unless you are really fond of this old hardware, or strapped for cash, I'd consider the much greater processor power, memory, and disk capacity a few hundred US$ can buy today (even less for better hardware on the used market) versus the administrative overhead to get one of these running and maintain it; not to mention the bugs and security vulnerabilities you would be implicitly signing up for with this antique system. For a hobby project, good luck and have fun. If there is any commercial/business aspect, the cost trade-offs are going to favor looking for alternative hardware, |

Thanks for the info
I hear you about the benefits of newer cheap hardware. One more question: I know that 5.0 is not an option, but can the 4.3 be upgraded to 4.6-4.8 ? Thanks again. Regards |
