Then I have to face weeks of 32 bit compatibility issues, unresolvable 
library conflicts, and source code that won't build.  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? :-(
