I know how to Google, and already know Debian still do 32-bit. Decided to put this here just to inspire discussion and such :)

I promised to take a look at friend's daily driver, a 2006 Thinkpad T-series on Linux, that's finally developed some problems. Plan is to boot up with some usb stick, image the drive with dd and then see if I can fix the thing.

Realised after promising that it's probably not 64-bit, so I need a 32-bit system on the stick. Debian installer stick will work, but does anyone know of a 'proper' rescue system that is available in 32-bit?

Thanks! Took a browse and it looks like 8.04 was the last release with a 32-bit version.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
