[EN] 32bit is not dead

buhtz:
In the last news you wrote about a new release but dropping 32bit. And you would like to know if and why someone still need 32bit.

I am using a Atom netbook which is 32bit. Linux is used for a lot of old machines. I can not understand this 32bit bashing.

But as a small distro like you it is acceptable because of your ressource. I would switch to Debian unstable when it happens. I think there is n such a big difference between this.

Just my 2 cents.

tmhind2:
@buhtz, that's what is great about linux, you can hold what your using, move laterally to something that works for you or move on with your current or freely select what you like!  ;)

Like the quote says, one can be built for you.

Either I or someone else can build it for you. (ah ya, I just volunteered)  ;)

You can shoot me a pm or ask directly on irc when this happens.

vilde:
For many years I have had  with me a 32 bit cd and/or usb-stick with siduction (or earlier....sidux ....) to be able to rescue files from friends crashed  windowz machines. I 32 bit rescue cd/usb-stick will be usable on all machines 64 or 32 bit.  For now I will keep my newest 32 siduction usb-stick as rescue tool.

horo:
If I understood it correctly the main pain isn't the packaging but the need to develop/maintain a 32er kernel. Otherwise I would propose to offer at least a nox iso - useful for rescue and a good starting point for own customisation. And as another benefit it will fit on an old fashioned CD for the PCs that cannot boot from USB. Just my 2¢.

Ciao, Martin
