However, IIRC a while back there was still i386 support and while Debian did support it, Ubuntu already dropped it.
Debian dropped i386 support in Debian Sarge[0] in 2005. Ubuntu supposedly dropped[1] it in Ubuntu 10.10 which was released in 2010. That document could be seen as ambiguous though, though I can find several places referencing to it when claiming that it was dropped in 10.10
And last of all, Linux dropped i386 support in 2012.
