Cool - yeah, that is the problem - 32 bit is disappearing fast. I was going
to buy a cheap PC engines ALIX firewall box the other day when I realized it
had a 32-bit only AMD geode CPU. Even pfsense doesn't maintain a 32bit line
anymore :(

I'm all for the move to 64-bit to simplify things, but it makes repurposing
old hardware a lot more difficult, unfortunately.

Cheers,
Mike
