Re: [LINUX_Newbies] TEST for 64-bit

 

I want my world to stay as much like it is now until I can find time to find another distro.  You knew this was temporary, didn't you?  I've got several criteria to check out, and if they transfer near-flawlessly to another distro, then I'll move.  But I've accomplished more in the last 24 hours with this new machine than I'd accomplished in the previous two weeks on Virtualbox.  I'll stay with 32bit Gentoo for the moment...

Yes, especially if you're running Gentoo. :) Seriously, 64 bit should
shorten compile time--I realize you say you're not concerned with that, but
it's still nice.
