Hello Oi community
I was wondering if you guys are looking for contributors. I have been looking
for a project to get involved into and I fell in love with Oi ever since I
learned of it. Who am I? I am no developer as I am only learning C and would
not dare call myself as one. But I am persist

Don't misunderstand me. I want to eliminate 32 bit kernels and delivery of
certain 32 bit versions of system utilities. This should in no way affect any
3rd party apps. We need to keep the 32 bit app runtime for the foreseeable
future.

I have a hard time believing you would choose to switch to Linux instead of
taking the time to upgrade the hardware. A two or three year or even five year
old system will probably be a big upgrade and cost less than the labor to
switch to Linux.

I am running a small web and ftp server at university on a 32-bit AMD
Athlon. So I would be affected.
However I cannot argue for retaining 32-bit support in OI, because any
baggage certainly should be dropped in order for OI project to proceed.

For what it's worth, I only need Xorg, xpdf and xterm to take care of my

As long as a distro can support Xorg, it is viable for me. So whatever you
