In a small segment of geekdom, where a mobile phone or a tablet don't
cut it, I believe there are quite a few Atom 32bit netbooks still in use.

Intel fused off 64 bit Atoms making them 32 bit for the poor little
suckers, the time frame on these extended through 2010. They were also
limited to a maximum of 2 GB RAM.

I personally use one for troubleshooting network installations and
tuning my motorbike and while such hardware is no place for a bloated
desktop environment, I would hate to find it completely orphaned by Devuan.
