I saw this a few days ago, nice, especially since Linux is dropping support for older hardware. Even OpenBSD is slowly limiting i386 (32bit) support:

NetBSD so far has no plans to drop 32bit x86 support, and it is always nice to be able to run a modern UN*X on older hardware. IIRC, porting NetBSD to a new platform is quite easy when compared to other systems. This is due to how their HAL (hardware abstraction layer) is designed.

Today I saw in the OpenBSD @misc mailing list one of the issues they are having with i386 is rust is too large for them to compile on a i386 system. That means software packages that need rust are being removed from their packages.

This does not affect NetBSD because they allow cross-compiling of everything on their systems.
