I have two hardened gentoo systems I'm running for many years now. I've |
2 |
installed the personal server in 2004. The laptop started in 2005. Now the |
3 |
time has come, to change to 64bit. I can't circumwent it. You know it |
4 |
means I'm rolling these systems for many years without the need to |
5 |
reinstall! The server would just go to primary school now as a human |
6 |
being... I must say: hardened rocks! |

First I'll perform an install for the laptop. Later I'll go on with the |
9 |
server, when it'll get upgraded... |

I see some hardened stage3s from 2011 June on the mirrors. Should I start |
12 |
with them or rather convert a normal install? Are there any more recent |
13 |
hardened stages available online? |

I will run a proprietary Linux software, which is still a 32bit binary. |
16 |
The software is statically linked, so it needs no other libraries at all. |
17 |
All other softwares I plan to run are 64bit (including libreoffice and |
18 |
firefox). What would you suggest? May I aim for a no-multilib install? |
19 |
Should I still go for regular multilib setup? Is it enough to enable 32bit |
20 |
compatibility for the kernel and let the whole system be 64bit otherwise? |
21 |
Are there any known serious obstacles with no-multilib? |

Thank you for sharing your opinion: |
