Re: Year 2000 compliance



Hi...

Linux has no Y2K issues aside from the BIOS. It's that simple. However,
sometime in the 2030s, it will have some time_t problems if not fixed by
then. They should be, although you will probably need to upgrade your
embedded system if you want it to keep running after then.
