Unless you're the type of person that /enjoys/ the challenge of being on the bleeding edge, AND has time to take to get back up if something happens, OR unless you are running something that NEEDS 64-bit, Linux on X86 is very simply still what the vast majority of Linux users run it's where the vast majority of the apps are, and it's where the vast majority of the support is, so it just makes sense to stay on it if you don't like or can't afford any possibly disruptive waves. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
