Dosemu should work on those, but there may be a few problems, mostly with the DPMI apps. And apart from bugs and missing features, the DPMI on 2.2 was IIRC very, very slow. Additionally, IIRC RedHat7 had the broken gcc that used to miscompile dosemu, but you can use a binary distribution. On RedHat8 it should work almost normally, but the kernel upgrade is still recommended. > Or what older xdosemu versions work on such systems? Older dosemus is a darkness. Unless your tasks for it are really trivial and not mission-critical (eg you can tolerate the frequent crashes, and you don't afraid of a security holes), you almost certainly don't want to have an older dosemu on any of your machines.
