Unfortunately I am dropping in on this "mine is bigger than yours"
pissing match a day late, not to mention a dollar short.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but your friend is a moron. If one
wants a peek at what Debian's documentation will say on this matter go
here:

http://people.debian.org/~robster/docs/releasenotes/i386.en.html/ch-whatsnew.html

where the following is on view:


Release notes for Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 ('woody') for Intel x86

  Chapter 1 What's new in Debian GNU/Linux 3.0

  Previously Debian's 2.2 release ('potato') had six release
  architectures, in this release these six have been joined by four
  more: MIPS ('mips' and 'mipsel'), Intel Itanium ('ia64'), HP PA-RISC
  ('hppa') and IBM S/390 ('s390'). Therefore the full list of release
  architectures are: Intel x86 (i386'), Motorola 680x0 ('m68k'), Alpha
  ('alpha'), and SPARC ('sparc'), PowerPC ('powerpc'), ARM ('arm'),
  MIPS ('mips' (Big endian) and 'mipsel' (Little endian)), Intel
  Itanium ('ia64'), HP PA-RISC ('hppa') and IBM S/390 ('s390').


We now return to our regularly scheduled programming...
