I'm really happy to see this change. 686 optimized packages are
much faster than 386. Take a look at Arch Linux. Arch Linux optimizes
everything with just 686, and this is a noticeable performance boost
from 386 distros like Debian/Ubuntu to Arch.
I have a lot of old computers around... And I believe the oldest
processers I have around are Pentium IIs. I have a Pentium I running in
a old laptop, but I only use that for an X thin client, anyway. By the
way, is there a simple way to use Ubuntu as a thin-X11-client setup?
God bless,
Lukas
