我让一台相当古老的台式机（我认为是这样）重新焕发生机，它曾被用作服务器。在修改硬件和软件的过程中，我偶然发现一个事实，我不知道该选择哪个版本的 Ubuntu Server 来更新它。起初我觉得它一定是 Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS（32 位），但事情很快就开始困扰我。

重要信息（我认为）
- CPU 架构是i686
- CPU 操作模式可以是64 位
- LM国旗在场
- 宽度是64位
- VMX 标志缺失- 不支持虚拟机扩展
- 运行版本LTS Ubuntu 服务器（即将过期）
- 正在运行i686平台
- getconf LONG_BIT 正在输出三十二
1-4 很好地表明了 x64 系统的功能，但第 5 点告诉我无法虚拟化 x64 客户系统（https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86_virtualization），而第 8 点告诉我这里是 32 位操作系统。
那么我应该选择哪个 Ubuntu Server 进行更新？我的机器能运行 64 位操作系统吗？还是我应该继续使用 32 位？
答案1
有关 i686 和 x86_64 之间的差异，请参阅此页面；
https://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2006-October/msg03684.html
我想您肯定明白为什么必须使用 32 位。
答案2
您绝对应该使用 32 位 i386 版本的应用软件和操作系统。i686 不是明确的 64 位计算机。它是 i386 的后续版本，即英特尔 8、16 和 32 位计算机
