It's worth noting that running x32 requires a 64-bit kernel. Moving to x32 would be as big a deal (if not more) as moving to x86_64 from ia32. And personally, I think just moving to x86_64 is the better goal. :) -Kees -- Kees Cook -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
