It is much easier on the CPU. oh, zmd & co are definitely out now in my x86-64. But, as I have said in other posts, i think that the x86-64 version might be more buggy than the 32 bit, so i will experiment more with the 32 bit version. I hope it works better than x86-64. 'cause, if i am more happy with freebsd 6.2 lately installed as a vm-machine, i will switch to it in the next 3-6 months. I want something stable. For God's sake, even my os2 /deskview (mid ninenties, folx) setup was far more stable than my 64 bit 10.2, I ran a business on it... > > -- > Joe Morris > Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64 d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
