Yes, thanks. Sadly, I see that I have no choice but to switch to
another distribution even though I'm using 64-bit CPU. It's just that the memory
can't be upgraded and buying new computer just to keep running Fedora is not viable.
It's 12 years old, is in good condition and I'm completely satisfied with its
performance for my needs. I wonder what owners of thin terminals will do if they used
Fedora, especially if there are many of them. The cost of upgrading some old terminals for
some school can be too high.
It is probably very rare for someone to have just enough memory for a system to
run reasonably using i686, but tank when using x86_64. If there is some
key code that causes the problem, you might be able to rebuild that code to
use 32 bit addresses and save enough memory to make things work reasonably.
