The new release of OOo is SUPPOSED to be 64-bit clean. I have no idea when 2.1 will be ported to FreeBSD, but I hope it will be soon. OTOH, I see little reason to run amd64 on most systems which don't have large memories or some other specific reason to run it. The binaries are larger and generally performance changes are minimal. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
