There is a contingent who like to preach that 32-bits are faster than 64-bits and vice-versa. There are certainly 32-bit apps that will perform better than their 64-bit version and vice-versa, and certainly larger databases gain considerably with the linear memory of 64-bits. So, in the perspective of a desktop workstation running GNOME or KDE, does anyone have any good information to compare a 32-bit Linux with a 64-bit Linux on the same box. -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
