The ports themselves should get to work under amd64. 2006 will probably become the year of widespread adoption of 64-bit computing. Until it ends, you'd better use FreeBSD/i386 on your desktops. All server software that was popular enough was ensured to run on FreeBSD/amd64 smoothly. The situation is not much better with Linux, and even worse with Windows. I run the amd64 version of FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE on my main workstation and there is really only one thing that I would like to run that I can't. As much as I dislike flash, lots of websites I visit (including one of my own) are in flash so I do wish I could view them. Actually, I guess one more thing would be OpenOffice since the current version of AbiWord in ports has some known bad crashing issues with the amd64 version of FreeBSD. -Mark ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
