I've got an older machine that I'd like to give a second life. I've always been an Ubuntu fan in the past, but checking their site for a lightweight distri it looks like they've gone all 64 bit. Is that right? Can I still get a recent version for a 32-bit processor?

Well, Debian has a 32-bit ISO, and since Ubuntu is based on Debian you may consider giving it a try?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
