1 Hi,
2
3 I'm going to install Gentoo on Athlon64-based workstation,
4 but I'm a little confused about hardware profiles and their
5 compatibility:
6
7 If I select now amd64, will I be able later to install and
8 use x86 software, if there is no amd64 release (for example
9 precompiled game-binaries, or even some sources which are
10 only for x86, not amd64)?
11
12 Or do I have to use x86 installation profile?
