Is x86 support still important to you? If so, then come join us! We
need all of the help we can get. Not a developer? No problem! We still
need people with hardware to help us evaluate software.
Thanks for the heads up; I have just joined the x86 list on your prompting.
For my part I have a lovely, powerful, 64-bit desktop/gaming machine but
my laptop is an old 32-bit Celeron M with 2G RAM. The latter is mainly
used for email (this was sent from it) and it is plenty powerful enough
for everything I use it for. There's no gain in spending money to
upgrade it so any such spare funds would go to improving the desktop
machine. A new graphics card perhaps. Nevertheless I greatly value being
able to run the same distribution (currently F26) on both. If I need to
change the distribution on the laptop to say, Ubuntu, I'd probably end
up changing the desktop over too.
I do realise this is of little consequence to the Fedora project, but as
you asked I thought I'd throw in my 2¢ worth.
Regards,
Chris R.
