Maybe there's still a reasonable number of such systems about? It was a pretty decent XP system. I only retired my K7 thunderbird about a year ago, because I was given a newer "ancient" system to replace it. Maybe the OP should switch that system to gentoo :-) and compile LO himself - although the build will be pretty slow - or he could investigate - iirc - Sabayon. Hopefully that still has K7 builds... (Or is it a lot of effort to maintain a SSE build for old systems on the website? I'm not offering ...) I know we can't keep supporting old stuff for ever, but I've got 80s-era software I would still like to run, and I know of people who can't afford to replace aging computers...
