Yahoo mail was allowing spam to “slip” through while dunning me for a paid sub, so I decided to do my own email server, and found a beagleboard xM on ebay for cheap. The problem went away on its own, but recently I’ve thought to revive the project. Turns out that Debian has archived release 9! I gained some grey hairs sorting that out, and began to wonder, even though there’s no official beagleboard xM release for debian 11, is there any reason I can’t upgrade? Debian still offers a 32 bit release.
Thanks!

Thanks! It’s kind of antique-ish at this point, to be honest. I managed to get Buster loaded, and learned some about the package installer, too.
It may not worth spending a lot of time on. A Raspberry Pi 3 can be had for $35, uses a quad-core 64 bit processor, and they seem to be available again. On the other hand, Digikey seems to have a stock of the XMs, I imagine for people to use on older industrial hardware. But if the machine’s not hooked to the 'net, the older OS likely isn’t an issue.
