|
|

|
|
The x86 platform includes all 32-bit Intel and Intel compatible processors
|
||
|
|
ranging from i386 to i786 processors. For the purposes of installation, the
|
||
|
|
x86_64 architecture, including all AMD64 and Intel 64-bit processors, is identical
|
||
|
|
in function and included in this page.

|
>Please note that the minimum supported processor is i486. This is not a limitation
|
||
|
|
>specific to HitchHiker, but a limitation of the Linux Kernel itself and Glibc.

|
>Should you have a computer of this vintage, and wish to get it running, you have
|
||
|
|
>the choice of installing an older and likely unsupported distribution, or
|
||
|
|
>installing an operating system descended from 4.4BSD (FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD).
