WHAT is broken about 'the 64 bit scene' ?!? I have 64 bit Opteron systems happily running CentOS 3 in my lab, zero problems related to the bitness of them. These servers and installs are over 5 years old (HP DL585, with 4 x Opteron 850 and 8GB ram, new in 2005). IMHO, its insane to be installing 32 bits on modern servers that have 12-48gb of ram, and dozens of terabytes of disk space in the 21st century. THATS broken. -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
