It's bad enough that I can't get Microsoft's Skype to run on this 32 bit system. I just spent most of a week trying to get Scientific Linux 6.1 x86-64 to cooperate. There are still too many 32 bit only applications to deal with. Aside from that, I have to go back to work tomorrow because my Christmas break is over. ;-) As for KVM not working in 32 bit, I found it worked quite well in Fedora 14 32 bit. Can someone explain how making it 64 bit only is an improvement? :-( -- °v° /(_)\ ^ ^ Mark LaPierre Registerd Linux user No #267004 www.counter.li.org
