I've been running Gentoo AMD64 for about 15 months I think. The |
| 21 |
machine is mostly running stable packages + proaudio overlay and runs |
| 22 |
very well. Note that while I have no 'problems' with the machine there |
| 23 |
are 'limitations' with much of the web based multimedia out there, |
| 24 |
flash, Java. Stuff like that either does not run or is not as good as |
| 25 |
my wife and son's Gentoo 32-bit machines. I have a 32-bit chroot to |
| 26 |
get around that but hardly ever use it. |
