Too many problems with web-based media not playing without all the wincodecs stuff. Maybe this has improved? I've used firefox-bin really to get Flash, Java and wincodecs. I don't care which one I use. I just want a good user experience when I'm browsing around and run into something interesting. I really only run the AMD64 version of Gentoo because a few years ago when I bought this system it seemed like an interesting thing to try out and at the time I had a Linux laptop running 32-bit Gentoo in case I ran into problems. Then a guy on the web found me and wanted to buy my 2 year old laptop for more than I paid for it (he wanted a backup machine) so I sold it and no longer have that backup. As an everyday, normal desktop user-type I really don't know that running 64bit Gentoo offers me any advantages and has shown to have significant disadvantages, at least the way I build the comparison list. I wonder in what usage model do people here see a measurable advantage running 64-bit over 32-bit Gentoo? I've stuck with it for a long time, and I hate to give up, but maybe it's time to just pack it in and rebuild the machine. I'll keep poking around at this.
