1 Hi,
2
3 I'm preparing to switch from Fedora 14 32bit to Gentoo 64bit
4 non-multilib. Gentoo setup procedure is basically finished and
5 working.
6
7 I'm using Lilo instead of Grub for bootloader, I read about grub being
8 incompatible with non-multilib somewhere in the Gentoo amd64 handbook.
9
10 I do not use graphics/X, so no other issues so far. Apache, OpenLDAP,
11 pam_ldap/nss_ldap, MySQL, PHP all seem fine.
12
13 Cheers,
