Is mips architecture supported? Is it possible to install Trisquel on Lemote Yeelong? (http://www.lemote.com/english/yeeloong.html)

I don't think so since Trisquel is currenty based on Ubuntu 8.04 which doesn't support the MIPS architecture as far as I know.

Therefor, the only current architectures Trisquel can support are 32 and 64bits.

(Espero que esté correcto y no haya metido la pata)

No te preocupe, yo hablo italiano pero lo importante es que se entendemos.
Si Trisquel is based on Ubuntu 8.04, maybe it can take advantage from gNewSense's work. gNS is based on Ubuntu 8.04 tambien, y it's been recently ported on mips: http://wiki.gnewsense.org/Projects/GNewSenseToMIPS
Creo que hay una versione de Debian que works on mips tambien.
Espero que the Trisquel developers are interested in mips.

Por supuesto que en un futuro lo ideal es soportar todas las arquitecturas posibles. Yo no soy un desarrollador, así que a lo mejor ellos puedan ayudarte y decirte lo que se hará en un futuro con las otras arquitecturas.

Not really, the new gNS mips and ppc ports are based on Debian, not on
Ubuntu.

I personally think that a free mipsl OS is very important, as with it you
can have a fully free computer. But even if with a PC you cannot easily
replace your bios, you can still use a fully free operating system, so it
is very important to maintain a high quality free distro por x86 PC's. We
are focusing in this task, while gNS is focusing on the mipsl one.
