FreeBSD is just as solid on amd64 as on i386, and
A while back I reverted my AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ (2010.06-MHz 686-class CPU) from 64 to 32 bit, 'cos of bad ports. ls /var/db/pkg | wc -l # 536 Not that I use them all, they just accumulate. FreeBSD is as solid as damp cement on many old laptops ( http://berklix.org/~jhs/hardware/laptops/ ) ie doesn't install beyond 4.11. No time for ports pain as well as base install failures. -- Julian Stacey. Munich Computer Consultant, BSD Unix C Linux. http://berklix.com HTML mail unseen. Ihr Rauch=mein allergischer Kopfschmerz.
