Yes. It's a gen-1.5 netbook, first-gen Atom N270 -- 32-bit only.
Which is why I said I'm thinking about upgrading to an (amd64-based)
chromebook or something, rather than bothering trying to do a clean stage3
install or an in-place upgrade jumping three years (difficult, and I'd
have to do it in stages using old tree snapshots since a portage that old
won't work with the current tree, but doable in general, and I've done
1.5-2-year upgrades on it before, so I know the general principles and
have done it before). I do rather like the little thing, but if I do
this I'd be effectively chalking up the first one as a challenge and
learning experience that I successfully mastered, and moving on.
Arguably it's time.
