I have an innate desire to help people, but more importantly I give people the benefit of the doubt. Besides I self-taught myself a few things along the way, so I consider it a win. I have no idea what an Owlett thread is, other than it sounds like a Pokémon or one of the characters from the cartoon PJ Masks. Or is it just another name for good old fashioned trolling? > Now, which one of you is going to tell him that running virtual > machines is a bit of a stretch on a 32-bit host? > > Better luck next time! :) I'm not going to discount that someone has a perfectly good reason for wanting to do this, even if it is for academic purposes. Granted, I think in this day and age it is a bit silly to try and run a VM on a 32-bit host (or for that matter, run a 32-bit host at all if your hardware supports 64-bit, but that is another topic). That said I do not believe that any existing i386 32-bit-only hardware that is still floating around even supports the virtual machine extensions necessary to run a true VM host. Containers like Docker? Sure, those should still work, but I'm not an expert in the subject. -Matt
