+1 "accepted answer" but i will add, that it is equally uncertain if _any_ SBC manufactured today, will still be functional in 10 years more significantly though, i think it is safe to say, that if people are hesitant to use a 32bit server today, it is not because the machine is unsuitable for their actual needs - that is simply because the technology is already 10+ years old, and something newer exists so although this is a perfectly reasonable argument to make, it just is not convincing to many people - people will prefer an "updated/upgraded" _whatever_, even if they do not need it _______________________________________________ Freedombox-discuss mailing list Freedombox-discuss@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/freedombox-discuss
