The answer is really easy: if you feel it's a pain then switch back to the

I agree completely. It just boils down
As a server I would think it would be great but as a workstation it
seems to be a pain. The chroot jail works, but having to maintain the

of a pain.

As a fairly new AMD64 user, I have to say that maintaining a 32-bit chroot is
relatively painless.

Koffice doesn't really do what I need, since it unfortunatly does include
reading MSWord files. The import filters of koffice usually crash instead of
doing anything.

Well I made the rough decision last night and switched back to 32b.
After reading some benchmarks it didn't look like 64b was going to
benefit me much. This is a home desktop computer so the 32b will fit
me fine. Just a shame to give up the extra functionality.
Perhaps in a few years I may try
For those that have the knowledge, I know that the 64 bit architecture
is faster due to addressing and such, but is it that noticeable? Also,
I have 33% performance bonus with oggenc and mencoder (xvid and lavc

Yes.

I have switched to 64-bit because I do scientific calculations and the
