still bleeding edge. To be frank about it... the 64bit linux stuff just
isn't ready yet... there are way to many things that I am seeing on the lists
that do not work well (or at all) in 64bit. For my money its going to be
IA32 for some time.
This really isn't a problem for rpm based systems with multilib, only
really debian based systems where you don't have the option of running
32bit software on your 64bit software. As for 32 bit for some time
that completely ignores the fact that 4gb ram is not going to be
sufficient for much longer, it's already the normal amount to get in
new machines. If you need more ram (which games will require in a year
or so's time) you'll need 64bit.
