Iceweasel from the Debian package. It works with this website and most 
others.

OK, that's it. The Iceweasel package includes the SPI certificate 
authority 
but not Opera. I download a Debian package from the Opera repository, but 
apparently they didn't include the SPI certificate authority in the package. 
I'm not sure exactly how Chrome handles certificates.

Thanks!

Is this Debian Iceweasel or the official Firefox build?  See below for
why this matters.  If it's the latter, does Iceweasel work okay?

Does Opera use the default certificate store?  The root certificate for
alioth is from the SPI certification authority.  If you don't use the
Debian certificate store, then obviously it will not permit SPI-signed
certificates, since they're almost certainly not in the default store.

Certainly (I run some servers that way).  But still no more than 3GB
per process when running 32bit applications.

Also the application doesn't get to take advantage of the extra registers
(but the kernel does).

Certainly the 64bit kernel is the right choice on hardware that can
run it.  Whether you use 32 or 64bit for user space is a different matter.

I am actually quiet happy with 32bit , but it looks like the future is
going to be 64bit. So if I build my comp this year , I will be using
it for the next 3 - 4 years or so . I am under a confusion whether to
go for 32bit or 64bit.

I had no difficulty accessing https://alioth.debian.org with IceWeasel/Firefox 
(v3.0.6) & Chrome (v5.0.375.99) but when I tried Opera (v10.60 internal) I 
received this warning: "The server's certificate chain is incomplete, and the

This seems to be a not-infrequently reported issue:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/714216

The root cause tends to be the computer's clock being way off.  If
it's off by a couple of years, then logic checking for out-of-date SSL
certificates will get the checks wrong.

i386 has no problem doing 64bit intergers and 64 (and even 80) bit
floating point.  The difference is in the size of pointers.  amd64 has
64bit pointers so each application can use more memory, and it has
more general purpose registers (as you said) which helps the compiler
optimize better, and it uses SSE for floating point (not x87) which is
much faster and more efficient (but drops support for 80 bit floating
point, not that anyone cares).

Of course the fact you can optimize for amd64 instruction set rather
than i486 also makes the compiler happier.

It was always a alpha/beta status, never a release.  They have said that 
64-bit will return, but gave no indication about when or in what form.


My personal guess is that there was only ever one guy working on it, and 
he's too busy.  But that is just speculation.

Re: intel i3 processor

Amd64 is also about more general purposes registers in addition to bigger 
numbers.

Generally speaking anything will benefit from more registers, and if a problem 
uses the larger int's (or uses a large number library which uses them) you will 
experience enormous performance gains.

More addressable memory helps as well.

There is 64bit flash bit adobe dropped it. It can be found if you are happy 
with the known security problems.

8 years of amd64 and counting. I've even asked our redhat rep when 32bit i686 
will be dropped (not any time soon, gar!)
