They are two IDE-drives and two SATA-drives. The IDE drives are each on a

Do you want the uuid or something else. With udevinfo you get a lot of
information.
udevinfo --query=all --name=/dev/sdb4 --root

Others have responded to this well already - one thing I might add is to

In my limited speed testing, my 64-bit installs were all faster for my
general use cases (basically desktop) than 32-bit on the same hardware.
My server is also 64-bit (I run lighttpd/php/netqmail/mysql), and it's
rock solid, but I never did any performance testing on it.
I did do some benchm

There is no simple answer. It really depends upon a lot of factors -
controllers,
drives, file system, m
On AMD64 there's also number of named general-purpose registers is
increased from 8 to 16 - new capabilities for optimization :)

Building a system 64-bit buys you:

Hi,
as I have four hdd's in my computer, I was wondering if it does make sense to
source out some partitions/directories to a second hdd.
At the moment I have separate partitions for /var, /tmp and /usr/portage (I
feel portage is a lot faster since I've done this) on the same hdd.
My question
