<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Thanks for the antiX I ve visited the site. About i386 like I ve read Microdoft and Intel following the agreements are going to develop special CPUs, DSPs,..for the customers. So Linux free community won t have access to the internal code anymore in the future. That s why Ubuntu versions are labeled amd64... It is a bit insidious politics invented by business professionals to get rid off with the amateurs-Linux concurence. To achieve the goal claiming their products are faster, safer, more reliable etc. Following <a href="http://www.ti.com">www.ti.com</a> - Texas Instruments company, they produce their 32 or 64-bit architecture chips for Linux environments as well.<br></div>At home I own Atari 1024ST. It is a 16-bit architecture device based on Motorolla 68000 CPU and the company of chips on the motherboard. I was collected money to buy it for almost a year and more, payed a prof. to solder additional RAM onto existed in the case....A firend gave me another the sameone as a gift actually a waste. I never plug it ON cos it s a history.<br></div> Beside all this I wonder how powerfull company Microsoft actually is, according there have been 18000 people lost a job and another 6k are waiting to become unemployed.

I'm fairly certain antiX (and possibly some other GNU/Linux OSes such as Peppermint) will continue to offer new versions and support for 32-bit machines for many years to come. After all, some of these machines were built pretty robustly and there are millions still in use.<br></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 5:14 PM, David King <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:linuxman@avoura.com" target="_blank">linuxman@avoura.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <div bgcolor="#FFFFCC" text="#000000"> <p>I still use my 32-bit netbook, it requires a 32-bit OS, and I have tried several based on Ubuntu.
