You should be able to keep the current installation and run everything 32-bit, but as a recent convert to amd64 (here, an ecs 6100-pm-m motherboard, I elected to switch to ubuntu :) amd64. Partly due to a disk provisioning problem and a little lack of foresight, I suppose - my oldest and most smallest disk on lenny was an old 1.6 gig maxtor, and it held /var, and there simply wasn't enough room (or ide headers) to put all 3 ide drives in, plus 2 new sata devices. For the stuff that I do, amd64 works better. Most everything is 64 bit, but of course there are those things that are only available in 32-bit user space. Fortunately, I've found that they all run fine with the intel32 lib packages installed, and there's little reason if any to set up a chroot. Not that I've found, anyway. And, I paid for the extra bits, so why not use them? > Question I have is what do I run on it, I would prefer restoring a current > i386 system on it and then go on from there.
