Subject: [gentoo-user] [bit OT] 32 vs. 64 bits

1 Hello,
2
3 I've bought a new laptop with Core 2 Duo processor which is 64 bit. My
4 question is if applications (see below) compiled and running over 64 bits are
5 stable enough or if I should compile for 32 bits.
6
7 The applications are:
8 - Seamoneky/Firefox
9 - Java
10 - Flash
11 - Audacious
12 - mplayer
13 - VirtualBox/VMware
14 - Qemu
15 - Kerberos/OpenLDAP/OpenSSH (for these I think they are stable)
16 - X.org/fluxbox
17 - system suspending
18
19 I have 4GB RAM and I know better is to compile for 64 bits, but for me is more
20 important stability.
21
22 Thanks a lot
23
24 Pat
