     @fantasminha @solenepercent OpenBSD tries to make it best keeping the packages working on all the architectures while it's physically possible (some programs cant' build on 32 bits system due to memory limits for example) and of course when we have people to try and report issues.

     We have many sparc64 or i386 users out there, I think less users for powerpc but @cwen spent a lot of time fixing packages, the situation improve a lot thanks to her work :)

     @solenepercent @solene I actually have a old notebook that I like to play with from time to time, is not as old as the chalenge ask for but I have a bad time trying to find OSs and programs that works in a 32 bit machine.
