    Of course, this [1] tells me that it, in fact, *is* a i386 machine. So parent is *wrong*:

    # Host name: gluck.debian.org
    # Admin contact: debian-admin@lists.debian.org
    # Architecture: i386
    # Distribution: sarge Debian GNU/Linux
    # Access: developer only
    # Sponsor: Hewlett-Packard
    # Sponsor admin:
    # Processor: Dual Intel P4 2800
