-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 | Your original question was regarding AMD64; there is no Gentoo specific | advantage on a 64 bit arch; being able to start from a base applies | equally to any 32 bit arch as well! That's the answer I particularly look for. | | While that is in the most part true, with 6 month release cycles fast | becoming standard, you might find that all the good stuff gets committed | just before releases of things like GNOME, Fedora & Ubuntu. | My solution: stay with 32-bit ubuntu which I currently happy with, see if I can do what I want in an acceptant performance. If yes then just wait for the 64-bit to be mature, otherwise go for the complexity and cross the fingers.
