So I was terrible mistaken :D. I "remember" to read about i386 support of Debian likely after 2005 on the Debian homepage and that time compared it with information about 32-bit architecture by the Ubuntu homepage. However, I'm seemingly mistaken :D. However, the most important information simply is, that "Linux" dropped it in 2012. Without research I believe that you information is correct and my remembrance is wrong. oops ;)
