What remaining software issues are there with 32-bit stuff on a 64-bit |
| 2 |
machine? Last time I was thinking about going 64-bit on my machine, I |
| 3 |
was scared off by the docs on the Gentoo website. I now understand that |
| 4 |
they were out-of-date about some problems that have now been solved. |

BTW, I have schlockwave-trash turned off 99.9% of the time and I do not |
| 6 |
soil my machine with Sun's bloated OpenOffice. Between OpenOffice and |
| 7 |
all its dependacies (including tons of Java garbage), I figure that |
| 8 |
trashing OO has saved me at least a gig of disk space. |

My main worries would be proprietary stuff like RealPlayer and the |
| 11 |
win32codecs portion of mplayer. |
