If it were me, I'd say ok for an older desktop or laptop, but I'd prefer the best I could afford for any kind of server. Besides, zfs on a file or media server would probably be happier with more RAM than most 32-bit only systems can handle. So...still useful? Depending on the use, sure. As good as 64-bit? Maybe not, even outside of any reliability concerns. In the long run, I suspect 32-bit of any OS will only be on embedded devices, phones, GPS receivers, and so on. Maybe on SCs for larger systems, too. :-) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
