Well, your wording seems to imply you have already made up your mind, so why should I bother trying to change it? > You might have noticed that > I'm going to install 32-bit Debian stable, to see if there should be > advantages. Maybe you mentioned it on another list, alioth lists are alphabetically first in my folder list ;) My reasons currently are: skype -- I had some problems with multiarch, probably due to the fact that I'm running unstable. crossgrading -- I plan to "sacrifice" this install at the earliest opportunity to test a crossgrade to amd64. Depending on the outcome I might choose to keep it or reinstall amd64. similar performance -- there is no perceivable loss of performance I am however running an amd64 kernel, because I assume it is optimised for my CPU (no, I didn't feel any difference). The only problems encountered so far were with VirtuaBox, but I don't use it much and I could install the -686 kernel if needed.
