Hi, |

i was amazed to see, that there is a profile for 32bit userland on amd64 |
4 |
hosts. Is there some FAQ somewhere? |
5 |
|
6 |
I'm especially interested in answers for the following questions: |
7 |
|
8 |
- what is the goal for that? (well, my personal goal would be, to have a |
9 |
32-bit system so that i can use all that pre-compiled software that's |
10 |
not available in amd64 yet - and well, no multilib anymore) |
11 |
|
12 |
- what is the performance drawback? (does a 64bit kernel run the 32bit |
13 |
binaries as fast as a 32bit kernel?) |
14 |
|
15 |
- Are there any major advantages on having a 64bit kernel? (The only |
16 |
advantage i see is, that you don't run into HIGHMEM-troubles.) |
