A simple, lightweight distribution for 32-bit CPUs
You've reached the website for Arch Linux 32, the community maintained continuation of 32-bit support for Arch Linux, a lightweight and flexible Linux® distribution that tries to Keep It Simple.
Currently we have official packages optimized for the i686 and pentium4 architectures. Also most(ly) non-graphical packages are available for i486, too. Have a look at the required cpu flags to decide which architecture is the right one for you. Most packages from Arch Linux's community-operated package repository are also compatible with Arch Linux 32.
Instructions for the transition from Arch Linux to Arch Linux 32 can be found here.
Installation media which boot on x86_64 and i686 can be found here.

Arch Linux mailing list id changes
2020-12-31
Due to issues with our anti spam measures, we had to migrate those mailing lists, that were sent from @archlinux.org before to the@lists.archlinux.org domain.
32 Bit Linux Os
Submission to the mailing list is not affected and still works with @archlinux.org. Mails get redirected automagically.
The only change that may need to be considered on your side are filters and rules matching the From or List-id header which changed accordingly.
dhcpcd may(?) fail to get ipv4 address
2020-11-11
It seems, that dhcpcd has trouble, getting an ipv4 address.
This issue is reproducible for me on all my archlinux32 machines (be it virtual or bare metal), as well as all (or at least almost all) my raspberries running archlinux arm.
dhclient works fine, though.
In case it matters: The dhcp servers in the affected networks are qemu's internal dhcp server and dhcpd (from the dhcp package) running on i486 archlinux32.

Accessible installation medium
2020-11-01
We are very happy to announce that accessibility features have been added to our installation medium with archiso v49.From release 2020.11.01 onward these are available via the 2nd boot loadermenu item. A specific installation guide can be found on the wiki.
Many thanks go to Alexander Epaneshnikov who integrated the features from the TalkingArch project into archiso's releng profile, which is used for creating the installation medium.
Note: The boot loader timeouts have been set to 15s to allow blind users to select the menu item as the boot loaders themselves do not offer accessibility features.

Blackops modern warfare. If you simply want to install Debian, these are your options:
Download an installation image
Depending on your Internet connection, you may download either of the following:
- A small installation image: can be downloaded quickly and should be recorded onto a removable disk. To use this, you will need a machine with an Internet connection.
- A larger complete installation image: contains more packages, making it easier to install machines without an Internet connection.
Use a Debian cloud image
- An official cloud image: can be used directly on your cloud provider, built by the Debian Cloud Team.
Try Debian live before installing
You can try Debian by booting a live system from a CD, DVD or USB key without installing any files to the computer. When you are ready, you can run the included installer (starting from Debian 10 Buster, this is the end-user-friendly Calamares Installer). Provided the images meet your size, language, and package selection requirements, this method may be suitable for you. Read more information about this method to help you decide.
Buy a set of CDs or DVDs from one of the vendors selling Debian CDs
Many of the vendors sell the distribution for less than US$5 plus shipping (check their web page to see if they ship internationally).
Some of the books about Debian come with CDs, too.
Here are the basic advantages of CDs:
- Installation from a CD set is more straightforward.
- You can install on machines without an Internet connection.
- You can install Debian (on as many machines as you like) without downloading all packages yourself.
- The CD can be used to more easily rescue a damaged Debian system.
Buy a computer with Debian pre-installed
There are a number of advantages to this: Downloadme org ps3 apk.
- You don't have to install Debian.
- The installation is pre-configured to match the hardware.
- The vendor may provide technical support.
