Yes, but we have to change all of our Makefiles to use -m32 and there are some 
other issues as well.  We are moving towards 64-bit but are not quite there 
yet, and I thought I would initially install 32-bit CentOS 6 on our x3650 M5 
system as I did on the x3650 M4 systems.

I have a completely automated installation via kickstart, so I usually just use 
the net install ISO image,  but I will try the minimal or perhaps even the 
LiveCD ISO when I am back in the office on Monday.
