57 If yes, what are the gotchas, in terms of kernel config, hardware, etc? I
58 have never installed a 64bit system yet, so I guess that'll be another thing
59 to read on.

61 When building a server is it worth considering some GNAP type of set up, or
62 should one build a complete Gentoo system with /usr/portage and all?
