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.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.
Well it doesn't help that Debian still refers to it as i386 in a lot of places.
