Hmmm...are you talking architecture differences or distribution differences? I've had trouble with both, but not necessarily at the same time. What problems are you having (specifically)? This request is a bit too vague, IMO. > If so, could you please let me know what is your problem > and how you solved it?

I've had tons of experience porting things to 64-bit platforms, as well as porting things to Linux itself (regardless of architecture). Each distribution has it's own nuances and quirks, most of which can be easily gotten around (since most are just differences in file locations). > Any response to the above topics will be greatly appreciated!! Your rich > experience is a huge help to me. Hehehehe...experience is something I have tons of (as do most of the people on this list...working on Alphas frequently involves recompiling things and/or patching them so that they will work properly...most of the world seems to be 32-bit-centric).
