[Discuss] OSX Mavericks root exploit, and Safari

[mark at buttery.org (Shirley Márquez Dúlcey)]

The only consolation is that Apple doesn't appear to have obsoleted
any hardware in any version of Mac OS X since Lion. So it should be
possible to upgrade any system running Lion, Mountain Lion, or
Mavericks to Yosemite, aside from the possibility of running out of
disk space. The upgrade may break some applications, however.

Lion does not support systems with a Core Solo or Core Duo processor.
Those systems can't be upgraded past Snow Leopard.
