FreeBSD did this too, right after I had just setup a local Minecraft server on an old Pentium D. It's a shame because it works perfectly for that purpose and now it'll just have to sit on FreeBSD 10 for the rest of it's life. I don't plan expose it to the outside world so that's OK for me, but surely 32-bit machines still have a purpose.
- peatmoss 10y agoOpenBSD and NetBSD both support i386 if you're looking for a BSD option.
- jlgaddis 10y agoYeah, so does FreeBSD. OP is mistaken.
- rolodato 10y agoPentium D does support x64 as far as I can tell: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_D > The Pentium D brand refers to two series of desktop dual-core 64-bit x86-64 microprocessors with the NetBurst microarchitecture, which is the dual-core variant of Pentium 4 "Prescott" manufactured by Intel.
- floatboth 10y agoUm, what?! Where did you find that? https://www.freebsd.org/where.html https://www.freebsd.org/where.html 11-RELEASE and 12-CURRENT snapshots are still being published for i386!
- ftigeot 10y agoAs far as I know, the only BSD operating system to drop 32-bit support was DragonFly, back in 2014: https://www.dragonflybsd.org/release40/ https://www.dragonflybsd.org/release40/
- JdeBP 10y agoPC-BSD dropped it with version 9.2, in 2013. * https://blog.pcbsd.org/2013/06/pc-bsd-status-update/ https://blog.pcbsd.org/2013/06/pc-bsd-status-update/
- jasonkostempski 10y agoBlerg, sorry, I have no clue where I got mixed up on this. I think I got confused with Drangonfly because I was going to try that at shortly after I got FreeBSD set up just to compare. FreeBSD seems to be going strong with i386.
