Hi,

Can one please let me know about the difference between the two torrents
written at:

http://torrents.gentoo.org/

Since in both the torrents, 'amd 64' is written...?

Thanks.

What is multilib and how can I use it?

Every AMD64 processor is able to run 32bit code as well as 64bit code.
However, when you have a 32bit application, you are unable to mix it with
64bit libraries or vice versa. You can, however, natively run 32bit
applications if all shared libraries it needs are available as 32bit
objects. You can choose whether you want multilib support or not by
selecting the according profile. The default is a multilib-enabled profile.

*Warning: *Currently you cannot switch from a no-multilib to a
multilib-enabled profile, so think over your decision twice before you use
the no-multilib profile.

Both will run 64-bit software, but only the 'multilib' will also
run 32-bit software.  You may not care about running older 32-bit
software on your 64-bit machine.
