Thank you all for your answers (I'm not going to quote them all). A special thank to Duncan. I sure have to get more understanding of how to run 32bit apps on a 64bit distro - I am willing to learn but you'll probably have to suffer a lot of questions from me. But this does not seem to be a problem on this list :)
I'll think it over again, but I think I'll go for a compromise (we swiss are well known for this way of doing, aren't we?): I have a working Mepis 32bit (the distribution I use on my "old" main machine. SO I'll probably build a 64bit Gentoo and I can switch the day I feel it works the way I like. Thanks again for your advices. Thierry -- The problem with the world is stupidity.
