Yes hopefully ... An alternative to proprietary software is almost |
| 11 |
always my first choice, as long as it works ;-) One big issue I had was |
| 12 |
firefox with all the plugins ~ 32bit binary with flash was ok, but then |
| 13 |
the mplayer-plug-in wasn't ... etc etc... |

And again... hopefully. The thing was I didn't want to install bin |
| 21 |
files, and all the libs etc for compatibility was one of the reasons I |
| 22 |
switched (for the time being until 64bit is properly supported for |
| 23 |
everything). Another reason is I'm a Linux-beta tester for Skype, which |
| 24 |
is also of course 32bit. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Either way, I'm not going back just yet to 64bit but simply looking for |
| 27 |
the 32bit solution ;-) |

Nice tip, I'll remove it. |

Another handy tip. Can't remember why I had it (did the "research" when |
| 38 |
I reinstalled it 32bit). I'll remove it too. |

Interesting. Maybe someone else can clarify this? It might be the reason |
| 43 |
I had these flags to start off with, but again.... I'm not sure. The |
| 44 |
gentoo wiki implies they are for different architectures: Athlon XP |
| 45 |
(AMD) <=> Opteron/Athlon64 (AMD) |
