Not only 4.11 is gone but also i386 is practically marked to die out as well as UP systems are. All platforms are going to be 64bits and memory of 4GB or more is not so rare anymore. Allmost all AM2 MBs support already 16MB. Even most professionals are not using SCSI anymore but Sata-II. Only this some points discard 4.11. When I migrated from 4.11 to 5.x I first was disappointed but after learning better my 5.5 SMP apache are not that bad today. MySql is also not behind, only the write performance is not as good as I wanted to but my 6.2 SMP Squids are real faster under load. But I do not use i386 or UP anymore. So for me my Athlon32XP 2GB bummer was perhaps faster with 4.11 than with 6.x on it but I believe that 4.11 do not make it up to 6.2-amd64 on FX62 with 8GB but I never tried that and guess I would not either.
