want to keep this article

i was totally happy there is at least one distro still supporting the 32-bit ALIXes the 3eth-port models are really cool for making small homeoffice-firewalls from discarded hardware. Let's call it 'upcycling' or 'reduction of carbon-footprint' :) I will try it over the easter-weekend and check the article. -- 21:35, 15 April 2025‎ Adagio

Thanks for the note. Appreciate if you can update the page on the outcome of your testing. --Prabuanand (talk) 16:24, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Also would like to keep this article

I'm in the process of configuring an old Alix board as a standalone OpenVPN server, and possibly other minor tasks - I'm happy to have found this page, and would have been quite sad to see a 404 upon clicking the search engine link.

I'll do my best to document the project and add it in case anyone else might find it useful.

Update: the AMD Geode LX800 doesn't support SSE2 and therefore many binaries and kernel modules are incompatible; I may go hunting to see what the last version of Alpine that didn't require SSE2 was, but I might not. For now, my project is a no-go.

Thank you very much for your interest and disposition to have wanted to contribute: it's good of you. Sorry to see you go, and hopefully you will find the right OS and that you may contribute in any way in the future to the wiki. Best wishes. John3-16 (talk) 03:00, 17 November 2025 (UTC)
