Re: "Gemini on old platforms."

I'd be ok if there where more 32 bits support in clients for GNU/Linux, it's not so much to ask...
@norayr I use it because of software. As a gemstone designer there’s a lot of specialized software we use with no open source equivalent – not even a bad one.
I have other x86 machines with Linux and Haiku, but my PPC is just for PPC Mac. If I ever considered installing a second OS for fun it would be MorphOS.
@lufte No. Pretty much everything you are used to doesn’t exist when you are on an OS from nearly 20 years ago.

OpenSSL has DJGPP support by the looks of it.
Gemini on old platforms. — With AmiGemini existing for the Amiga platform. What other old platforms does have Gemini client? With my limited knowledge I think that SSL is the limiting factor, right? I would love to see a MS-DOS/FreeDOS etc. client.
