We use a duel Xeon server for fone-me.com, running Debian Sarge - its very stable and fully supported by the debian security team. I run amd64 "unofficial" sarge (with a very small number of backported packages in order to use recent kernels) on a number of AMD64/Opteron workstations. They are rock stable, run for months at a time (because from time to time I update their kernels and thus reboot them) and are fully supported by the debian security team. Amd64 is going to be an official port of debian starting from next release, so I see no problem in future updates. And yes, for the kind of workload I use there is a marked performance gain with respect to running i386 sarge on the same machines. By the way, I do have a parallel i386 sarge installed in a chroot in these machines, to ensure complete 32bit compatibility, so it's not like I'm sacrificing anything, apart from a little disk space...

Re: Intel Xeon Server
i am also using this system with amd64 sid :)My kernel is:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -aLinux tanha 2.6.15-1-em64t-p4-smp #2 SMP Tue Mar 7 08:19:39 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/LinuxI will prefer this, as you will get support of a very big amount of RAM. btw, please use sarge , as sid is always unstable.For update isue and as web server gentoo is the best choice.On 3/16/06, debian < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:HiI have an Intel Server with an Xeon Nocona 3.0 GHz EMT64 processor.

As long as your hardware is supported, there is no problem running the i386 version of sarge on it. It is still an x86 machine. Some people want to run the 64bit version due to the amount of ram, or type of software they have, while others prefer to stick with a much more mature architecture for now. Both will continue to be supported by debian, so upgrades won't be a future. If multiarch is ever implemented, you should be able to later upgrade from i386 to running a mix of amd64 and i386, but for now it is one or the other (unless you place on in a chroot within the other).
