Hello,
I've bought a new laptop with Core 2 Duo processor which is 64 bit.
My question is if applications (see below) compiled and running over
64 bits are stable enough or if I should compile for 32 bits.
The applications are:
- Seamoneky/Firefox
- Java
- Flash
- Audacious
- mplayer
- VirtualBox/VMware
- Qemu
- Kerberos/OpenLDAP/OpenSSH (for these I think they are stable)
- X.org/fluxbox
- system suspending
I have 4GB RAM and I know better is to compile for 64 bits, but for
me is more important stability.
Thanks a lot
Pat
Thanks for all advices. I'm going to try amd64 and I'll see :-D
Thanks
Pat
I'm using Gentoo AMD64 since at least 2 years.
I have no issue just few details:
- usually you don't have latest stable versions on x86 you might use the
precedent one or unmask the package.
- you might install firefox 32 for flashplayer (i tried with the wrapper
not buildable yet).
For the rest everything is ok ^^
