I missed the beginning of this thread over the weekend, I guess. However,
I agree: what's broken? I've installed a lot of 64-bit, and I, along with
the other admin and our manager, admin something like 150 servers and
workstations, with folks doing serious scientific computing, and of that,
I think less than a dozen are still 32-bit. All the rest are 64, including
our cluster.
