Anyone got root on his box? Just remove the 64-bit and symlink to the 32-bit, no convincing needed ;) I'm still fairly entranced by OS X and don't have any convincing reasons to resume use of linux as my primary desktop, so my biggest problems are a few danglies not yet built as universal binaries, Rosetta is kewl but sloooow.
In hopes of having more fun linux news, though, I picked up a beefy & fast CF card, and hope to boot my old lappy off it; since it is a centrino chipset (which should also be able to boot off USB) and since CF is usually tied to the IDE or very close I'm hoping this is feasible. It has a built-in CF reader... I'm anxious to see the battery life boost from solid-state use! I hope I have the spacer CD-bay replacement around here somewhere, so I can make it lighter too. If that won't work, I'll use the new CF card on my mini-itx board, which has been sadly neglected of late. ben On 2/22/07, Jason LaPier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Because 64 is something like twice as much as 32. Also, I may be a tad stubborn. So don't bother trying to convince me I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Firefox compiled for 64-bit and FF compiled for 32-bit. ------------------------------ *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Ben Barrett *Sent:* Thursday, February 22, 2007 11:41 AM *To:* Eugene Unix and Gnu/Linux User Group *Subject:* Re: [Eug-lug] Would you guys mind padding this a little bit? So.... I think the question is, "why use the 64-bit version?"
