On: Debian switches to 64-bit time for everything

[Hikikomori]

Is there an y2k unsafe Linux you can try in a VM?

[pkaye → Hikikomori]

Linux (and probably most Unix systems) use a 32 bit time counter so didn't have the Y2K issue. But there might have been some applications that had it. And its possible some early bios clocks used 2 digit year that had to be worked around.
