Hi Sergio.  I can't think of any cases where a Linux distro drops specific
userspace binaries on a box based on the cpu subtype (excluding Gentoo
which compiles all bins).  The kernel may well be different but if a nice
generic i386 kernel is installed and booted before the process is started
all should be well.
