I'm going to get a new desktop at work and was wondering whether it's worth
moving to 64-bit.
I confess that I still dual boot 32-bit for one legacy application:
Vuescan. But with enough tinkering with ia32-lib or VirtualBox, I bet I
could get it to work. It used to work on 64-bit Intrepid. Other than that,
I've been running a 64-bit desktop happily for years.
This seems rather pointless when you can install a chroot 32bit system
and run 32bits apps in it, or set up the ia32-libs
