Later when I upgrade to a phenom, and stick 1GB RAM per core in there,=20 then yeah, I will probably recompile into 64bit, but that can be done in = a chroot, and migrated fairly easily I would expect, so long as the=20 system is running. --------------enig7BFE93666672DBE525C1865C Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH+4SGYSRPRMC0Fr4RAlaRAJ9ybjK0lONyEvWtsZvGrVKWnuW1bACfdhKX CM/42Tp61bG0Ao9BWr4QzAA= =AkmK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig7BFE93666672DBE525C1865C-- -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
