We'll see on that, as I first tried out 64bit but didn't really notice a huge difference compared to running 32bit, least on my system. And since I use flash and couple others (I think), I have to mix and match some i386 packages as well. Who knows, maybe I'll try 64 again with F10 and see what happens. -- Mike Chambers Fedora Project - Ambassador, Bug Zapper, Tester, User, etc.. mikec302@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
