Don't ask me why, I didn't decide those names :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

No, this depends on the application (and "usually" doesn't mean very much because applications will depend on what the machine is used for). And some people would completely disagree with you, e.g.: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_32_pae&num=1 There's another point is favor of amd64: floating-point arithmetic. As SSE is used by default on amd64, FP arithmetic is much cleaner there in practice. -- Vincent Lef�vre <vincent(a)vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Ar�naire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

But that's just a label, it's as stable as the 32-bit version. -- Life is not for everyone.
