1 Hi Allan,

3 I' m running a gentoo-amd64 system with multilib. Mplayer and Java work just
4 fine for me and I did not recognize any instability at all. If you need help,
5 there would be a lot of people in the forum inclusive myself, who would help
6 you to solve your issues. Don't give up on amd64. I think it's worth a try.

12 By the way, the only reason I use multilib support is my x-plane flight
13 simulator and some with_bad_codecs_encoded videos (mplayer and win32codecs).
14 For all other things I do, it exists a amd64 compileable peace of oss
15 software.
