All 64 should be tossed out of the option list immediately. If you want fun and excitement, I'd do a multilib 64 system. You get the ability to run 32bit and 64bit applications, and the fun of building cross-compilers! If you don't want 64bit, my suggestion would actually be i686, not i386. The majority of the people I talk to tell me they see no performance difference between i686 and amd64 (x86-64), but some of the critical tools to have are a little less stable as 64bit tools. Since I didn't poke and prod these people to figure out which tools or under what circumstance they ecame unstable, I don't know if its user error or system error. So far I haven't had a problem with any 64bit tools myself, but my system has only been up for about an hour now :) Eric -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
