You did the right thing, Joe. When you build the chroot with the --arch i386 option, that's just the portion used to start the thin client and get it connected to the server. From that point, it's the software on the server that does most of the work, and most affects the user's experience. By moving your server software to 64-bit you can now enjoy all the advantages that come with it, including access to higher amounts of RAM. I think you'll continue to find an improved user experience over a 32-bit server OS with this setup. db ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
