Fit-PC sells an excellent fanless mini-PC with an Atom Z510 that does not
support 64-bit instructions. It consumes 8 W according to the manufacturer,
which is less than some Arm-based plug computers. I am the happy owner of one
of them and would be quite sad to have to replace it in two years in order to
keep on using Debian Stable on my personal server.
By the way, are there plans to drop the support of the i386 architecture with
kFreeBSD as well ?
