Yes hopefully ... An alternative to proprietary software is almost always my first choice, as long as it works ;-) One big issue I had was firefox with all the plugins ~ 32bit binary with flash was ok, but then the mplayer-plug-in wasn't ... etc etc... > mplayer-bin will play all codecs that you normally need win32codecs for.

And again... hopefully. The thing was I didn't want to install bin files, and all the libs etc for compatibility was one of the reasons I switched (for the time being until 64bit is properly supported for everything). Another reason is I'm a Linux-beta tester for Skype, which is also of course 32bit. Either way, I'm not going back just yet to 64bit but simply looking for the 32bit solution ;-) > -march=athlon64 implies -msse2, all amd64 cpus have sse2 support. Nice tip, I'll remove it. > Also -ftracer is not in the safe cflags list, personally I would not use it > but if you believe it benefits you then go ahead. Another handy tip. Can't remember why I had it (did the "research" when I reinstalled it 32bit). I'll remove it too. > AFAIK '-march=athlon-xp -msse2' is equivalent to '-march=athlon64' Interesting. Maybe someone else can clarify this? It might be the reason I had these flags to start off with, but again.... I'm not sure. The gentoo wiki implies they are for different architectures: Athlon XP (AMD) <=> Opteron/Athlon64 (AMD) > I would not bother with a full system rebuild, everything should be fine. Thanks Raymond for the tips.
