Asus 901 Netbook - Ubuntu-accessibility Digest, Vol 160, Issue 8

[Spencer Hunley]

Hey Glenn,

I assume you're updating to a 32-bit system on this netbook, yes?

I've got one of these as well - and unfortunately I don't think there's
much new development in the 32-bit, i386 space, as evidenced by this link:
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/06/is-ubuntu-not-dropping-32-bit-app-support-after-all

I've gotten Peppermint OS to work well on it, but Ubuntu was more of a
struggle. It's a shame, I've had a soft spot for those netbooks for a long
time.
