[gentoo-user] i386 vs amd64

[Sean <rsh.lists@comcast.net>]

I have a dual opteron here and I am thinking of putting Gentoo on it. I 
am trying to decide to go with either the amd64 or i386 version.

 From looking over the online portage database it does appear that at 
least openoffice-bin 1.1.5 lists as available and 2.0 in testing for 
amd64, one of my main apps I use often, beside firefox and thunderbird.

I have several Loki game titles around, are they able to run on amd64 
gentoo?

So I am asking some Gentoo amd64 users, are you happy with the version 
or would you have gained more with i386?
Do most applications work on amd64 or are there some important ones missing?

I know above is a little broad, but I am just trying to get an idea of 
the state of amd64. I have been looking over the list for several days 
now, but not much traffic.

I also posted this to the amd64 list directly.


                 Thanks
                 Sean
