One problem is that we are a small team, the project is open source,
and we provide support for free. So the only way to provide good support
is to restrict ourselves to one well defined environment.

A second problem are the restrictions of the i386 architecture. 

And finally, the required hardware is standard and not expensive anyways.

According to the System Requirements info:

http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Installation#System_requirements

"CPU: 64bit (Intel EMT64 or AMD64), Intel VT/AMD-V capable CPU/Mainboard (for 
KVM Full Virtualization support)"

To the best of my knowledge they do NOT offer an "OpenVZ only" type setup.  We 
have asked about the possibility of a "lite" version that was for OpenVZ only 
but the Proxmox VE folks are interested in doing that... so... since the source 
is GPLed, if someone wants to grab the ball and run with it, it is possible.

The i386 architecture has some serious drawbacks, and we do not want to
deal with them (pve itself is written in perl and not really 
architecture dependent).

Hi,

it possible to install pve on i386 as well, the minimun packages 
and the most pve scripts are written in perl, only useing pve with OpenVZ
no kvm is needed.

So an old AMD 686 will not work.
