What distributions call the "i386" architecture will be supported perfectly fine for years to come by the Linux kernel, Linux distributions and LTSP. What's actually been discontinued here is support for the actual Intel i386 CPU, which I seriously doubt you're using with LTSP currently. I suggest you go check your hardware, I'm willing to bet that it's actually newer than 486 hardware even. > A great deal of the Linux Distros are becoming too heavy.

In most cases, in my opinion Debian provides by far the most, although if you're interested in more commercial add-ons and would like to run the same system for longer, then Ubuntu provides you with many great options as well. -Jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
