multiple architectures can be placed on different servers. The overall traffic will not increase and the overall disk space also wont. But well, perhaps we can just stop supporting <Pentium in the default distribution and this will already help. Then a single dedicated server can host the "old system debian distribution" for 386/486 compatibility. PErhaps even with some space optimized binaries. So we have only 2 sub architectures and a build system for user optimized building. Greetings Bernd
