Not to argue that i386/PAE is just as functional as amd64, but having an i386 installation is useful for some applications that only work on 32-bit, such as wine, though I believe there is early development for 64-bit. I want to test and hopefully benefit from MS-Windows functionality, but this does not bar having amd64 and i386 installations on different (GPT) partitions or different drives. I want to do that with FreeBSD (wine) and Linux where I'd have better chance of success than with NetBSD. Tom
