Ugh. I forgot about that. I need to go back to i386. It fails for AMD64,
but yeah, it's still a certificate trust-nightmare.
I used to mildly dislike SSL before it was

The so-called "Citrix Receiver" ? I've tried it using both Wine and Linux

Nah, it's "user" related. Spot on the topic. :-)
I don't think using i386 is a bad idea either, unless one has some
specific reason to use amd64.
I mostly agree with this sentiment.
I recently switched to amd64. I gained nothing, at
