+1 As a bonus, due to various architectural reasons I won't delve into, 32bit binaries will usually run slightly faster than the 64 bit cousins, and they'll take up a little bit less disk space. -- Stan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
