we are currently replacing ALL of our 32-bit servers with 64-bit opterons |
| 15 |
(dual core in some cases) and have found very few serverish things we |
| 16 |
wanted to do that weren't supported. Most of these are webservers running |
| 17 |
zope and squid, with some running apache. Our applications developers had |
| 18 |
to change a few things to accomodate the 64-bit python, but other than |
| 19 |
that, pretty much a slam-dunk. Not running x or any desktops, though, so |
| 20 |
depending on your workload, your milage may vary. |
