processors in the Intel 80386 family (and clones of the same). This is
impacting me because I have a 32-bit Ubuntu machine (powered by an Intel
80586) which runs Ubuntu 16.10. This machine, a home laptop converted into
a server, is only in the testing phase right now and probably will remain
there for 6 years at most.

Would you not be better to go back to 16.04 LTS which will be supported
till April 2021?
