You mean dual-boot it? I guess that would be possible, although it |
| 13 |
isn't just my desktop, but also my home network server for dhcp, ntp, |
| 14 |
file sharing, etc. So to make it capable of running all of those |
| 15 |
things as either x86 or amd64 would just about double the |
| 16 |
administration I'd have to do with that box. I think it would |
| 17 |
probably end up as just pure x86 before long... |
