[bitfolk] No 32-bit Ubuntu after 19.10

Hello, If I am reading this correctly: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/i386-architecture-will-be-dropped-starting-w… then 18.04 was the last LTS release of Ubuntu on 32-bit x86 CPUs. If you wish to run Ubuntu 20.04 at BitFolk then you will need to do that as 64-bit amd64. As Ubuntu supports 18.04 to some degree out to the year 2028, if you're currently on 32-bit then you could remain on that release for some time. Although you will of course find it harder and harder to get by with older package versions. If you are currently on 32-bit Ubuntu and wish to switch to 64-bit you can do so yourself by doing a self-install: https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Using_the_self-serve_net_installer You would need to use the "arch" command first to switch from 32-bit to 64-bit. If re-installing is too much disruption, a reminder that we are happy to give you an additional VM for free for up to 2 weeks for you to migrate into: https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Migrating_to_a_new_VPS Finally, it is possible to cross-grade from 32-bit to 64-bit, but the procedure is complicated, scary, and not supported by either Ubuntu or BitFolk. More info here: http://users.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/hobbies/debian_arch_up/index.html https://wiki.debian.org/CrossGrading (Yes, these are for Debian, but the steps are basically the same for Ubuntu) The only BitFolk-specific deviation from the above procedure that is required is to make sure to use the "arch" command in the Xen Shell to switch to 64-bit before you try to boot your 64-bit kernel. Otherwise it starts a 32-bit boot loader that won't work. It won't hurt anything, it just won't work until you change it. Cheers, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
