[OpenIndiana-discuss] Is hipster 2015-10 32 bits compatible

[Aurélien Larcher]

I am not sure whether the question is really 32 vs 64 bit... but given the
amount of memory that pkg claims for big updates I do not think having less
than 2GB RAM together with Gnome is reasonable (by today's standards) as
you are likely to exhaust resources fast.

I use 32bit Hipster for recovery from time to time, it is a bit sluggish.
IMHO given how slow and energy inefficient such x86 systems are, they are
not worth the trouble... unless you really want to play with them just for
fun.
