I see what someone meant when they said centos was a stripped mostly server distro.
I'd say it is sort of gnome-oriented, but there is plenty of desktop stuff now.
With the same config files installed here on centos6, nfs is dead, no hits, no runs & no errors logged.
CentOS/RHEL make you start services explicitly instead of enabling anything by default. Are both portmap and nfs running?
Firewalls? Iptables starts with some restrictive rules.
No clue at this time. IMO the 64 bit scene is just as broken as it was 3 years ago when I had a 64 bit version intended for AMD (Phenom quad core here) installed for about 2 hours.
Details? I haven't seen any 64-bit issues at all in 6.x. 32-bit libs aren't always included like they were in 5.x so if you are copying in some unpackaged 32-bit binaries you might have to install some library support explicitly.
If I was to do a clean install, it would sure be 32 bit.
Why? Anything current should have 64-bit versions available or work from source builds on 64-bit.
