I say this because it has gotten bandied about on both sides of this debate for the last year. I really tried to find an x86_32 box from Dell, Lenovo or other vendors today and couldn't find any. That doesn't mean they don't exist.. it just means that whatever google magic I have failed me. It also doesn't mean that x86_32 isn't being used in some specific field.. but again most everything I ran into was all the problems that x86_32 boxes have with memory limitations etc.. You might have other search results or better words, but unless we both use them, we are in two different worlds. When you are saying you have systems can you be specific on what they are and where you got them. Also what you are using them for. One of the problems with trying to 'solve' the x86_32 problem is that we have been trying to solve ALL of it, and it might be better aimed at pointing at a specific subset and getting the people there to join together. It probably won't be in Fedora since the goals of the distribution may not match. > On September 17, 2019 8:50:23 PM UTC, Samuel Sieb <samuel@xxxxxxxx> wrote: >> >> On 9/17/19 1:48 PM, John M.
