Re: [gentoo-user-br] Multilib or not?

[Edmar Wiggers <erw@macrovita.com.br>]

Hi,

I'm preparing to switch from Fedora 14 32bit to Gentoo 64bit
non-multilib. Gentoo setup procedure is basically finished and
working.

I'm using Lilo instead of Grub for bootloader, I read about grub being
incompatible with non-multilib somewhere in the Gentoo amd64 handbook.

I do not use graphics/X, so no other issues so far. Apache, OpenLDAP,
pam_ldap/nss_ldap, MySQL, PHP all seem fine.

Cheers,
