32-bit Linux distros going away

[Richard Gaskin]

Looks like Ubuntu will be joining Fedora and OpenSUSE in dropping 
support for 32-bit editions in future versions.

Given that 64-bit CPUs have been been dominant for more than a decade, I 
think this is pretty good news for us LiveCoders.  As new distros drop 
support for older 32-bit CPUs eventually LC can follow suit, allowing a 
more streamlined development and build process for modern systems.

End of an era: Linux distributions will soon stop supporting 32-bit PCs
