That depends on the value of your PATH environment variable.
It's likely that some software either won't build as 64-bit, or if it
builds it won't work right.
It's not in MacPorts (yet), but ZooLib won't build as 64-bit, because
it has a header file that sets up macros to identity the target

X11 goes back to way before Mac OS X, as well as long before Linux.

I've never read the X11 spec but my understanding is that it only

for use as a microkernel, but to avail

DNS is a protocol, not an API. To the extent that hosts is used, it's
because developer of the software that implements the protocol chooses
to use it.
It's a PITA if it's not used - I quite commonly set up small networks
in my own office, with static IPs hardwired into my hosts files.

HTTP 1.0 used only the IP address; if you wanted a single server to
serve multiple domains, it needed to have multiple IP addresses.
HTTP 1.1 permits the use of the hostname, and a single IP that
multiple hosts all share.
However, in general it should work to leave off the hostname. What
