When Debian started to mean 'closer to windows'?
I want to use Debian, because I love this OS, but developers cutting this love
by abadoning i386 arch. Sorry, but Windows making bigger minimal requirments,
and not Debian. And now it's changed?
And this new minimal requirments making my computer completly obsolete?
It's madness!
Even Windows 7 don't making my computer completly obsolete, and Debian 6.0
making it.
I can't understand. Do you want to better then Microsoft?
So why you cutting me from our community?
P.S. I wanted to start donating Debian, but now I'll rather start donating
thing which I hate from bottom of heart - Microsoft!
Why you doing this to me and others?

First at all:
Why are you trying to forcing us (the mailinglist readers) to send you a
reading notification? This is realy bad.. Disable it.
To your post:
Who said that we try to mess ourself with Windows or that we want to be
closer to Windows? It is Linux, not Windows.
Also I do not understand your requirements, do you have got references?
And "who" is "cutting" you from the community?
Sorry but your post seems to be a little trolling like..
If you are happy with Windows, use it, if not, use another system with
that you are happy.

There is no talk of dropping i386 from squeeze:

Do you mean the i386 processor? It's been abandonned by most OSes since
quite some time already. Do you really still use an i386? Does it have
enough RAM to run nowadays' Debian tools anyway?
If you mean the i386 series (i.e. also pentium etc.) I don't see where
you see Debian abandoning its i386 arch.

You seem to be having some trouble with your Debian installation,
which is making it slow (to the best of my understanding). It would
make it easier for us to help you if you could focus on the problems
you are facing, and mail about it to the debian-user list, where
people can offer suggestions and workarounds.
I have been using Debian GNU/Linux for years, and have had the
opposite experience. On most machines I have installed Debian on, it
has performed much faster than Microsoft Windows, and all of these
were i386 machines. The minimum requirements are fairly low as well.

We are not cutting you from our community. Please bring your problems
to the Debian users' list, and you will most likely get sound advice
on how to resolve your problems with Debian GNU/Linux.
HTH, and thanks.

You might confused that with the old Linspire stuff or Ubuntu.
Debian never had a reason to really need to be closer to windows.
Now I know Ubuntu is basing on Debian but we are still 2 independent(?)
projects.

As said before i386 wont be abandoned and I cant see why it should be
abandoned at all for a long time.

Please recheck your sources of information you probably just misread there
something.

I doubt that 7 wants less from your computer unless you want to leave it in
idle all the time and dont want to move anything.

As I said NO. We are the basis and buildig block upon which businesses and
Distrobuilders create their Systems nad have great appliances.

I dont think Windows actually needs anyones Donation unless its a bit more
than bills house in money...

There have been many answers to your concern, but most of them sent
only in the mailing list, as you didn't explicitely requested to be
CC'ed to answers (the policy in Debian mailing list is to not CC
individuals to answers except when requested).
These aswers were, in short: what makes you think this? There has
been no intent to drop the i386 architecture. Have you had trouble
with a recent installation and could you give us details about this?

I really sorry for my message!
It was big mistake.
Yesterday I found netinst-cd for i386.
It was hard to find.
I was looking for it really long time using a lot of techniques.
Once Again sorry.
Big thanks for all development staff for my favorite Operating System.
