Ain't it the truth! No, I wasn't asking with the anxiety to hurry things up - I was asking more about an estimated release time, whether it will be a month, 2 months, 3 months, etc. I'm not really looking to "experiment" with the cutting-edge releases right now. My aim is to build a fast, stable system for my computations, which ultimately brought me to another major decision: 32-bit or 64-bit... I run simulations which I write in C and numerical computations which I run in Mathematica (which has just released the 64-bit version). Would a 64-bit system significantly benefit these applications? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
