I just ordered (very cheap in these recessionary days) a PhenomX4 9950 processor-based mobo with 4GB to replace my Athlon XP with 512MB. Now come all the issues like:
1) Do I build 64bit-pure or multilib? 2) Do I use LFS, DOY or CLFS to do it? 3) What would I miss if I stayed with 32-bit. I'm afraid I missed all the discussion of this back when it was an issue, and the search engines just fill up with support issues, not decision issues. How do I decide? I'm interested in the Why not just the What. I plan to boot it with a Ubuntu-8.10 AMP64 LiveCD first to check for correct operation. Once I get this operating I may be able to help (B)LFS again, as the old XP was gettin' mighty slow....
