I’ve got an older machine that I’d like to give a second life. I’ve always been an Ubuntu fan in the past, but checking their site for a lightweight distri it looks like they’ve gone all 64 bit. Is that right? Can I still get a recent version for a 32-bit processor?
Well, Debian has a 32-bit ISO, and since Ubuntu is based on Debian you may consider giving it a try?
