What remaining software issues are there with 32-bit stuff on a 64-bit
machine? Last time I was thinking about going 64-bit on my machine, I
was scared off by the docs on the Gentoo website. I now understand that
they were out-of-date about some problems that have now been solved.
BTW, I have schlockwave-trash turned off 99.9% of the time and I do not
soil my machine with Sun's bloated OpenOffice. Between OpenOffice and
all its dependacies (including tons of Java garbage), I figure that
trashing OO has saved me at least a gig of disk space.
My main worries would be proprietary stuff like RealPlayer and the
win32codecs portion of mplayer.
