Actually it is a pity to usually see those convos drift off with arguments like "but my computer has...". Actually besides for netbooks 32bit is legacy. sure there is old hardware around and there is still 32bit fedora.... but with that analogy... none of them work on my c64 anyways.. and yea i know many people that still have one (<- really true!) jokes aside... i find kevin koflers idea yet the best posted solution. Even the most boring arguments like the fact that in the past 2 popular proprietary browser plugins didnt work on 64bit platform none of them are true anymore. (from my pov that was never really a blocker because i am the opinion that a few proprietary things shouldnt stop a huge open source project from progressing ahead). 64bit works since ages (actively using it since 4 years+) and these days most of the development focus should be on modern hardware, because this project is leaping ahead into the future and 32bit is largely the past. btw... you dont need to buy a netbook to get the performance benefits of an ssd. *writing that on f12 64bit on a lenovo x301 with ssd*, and no... ssds are not a step back but a leap ahead in many regards: power consumption, read performance, no seek times, close to no heat generation and no moveable parts (so no head crashes when you run around with the laptop.) -> but that wasnt the real topic this thread was initially about. kind regards, Rudolf Kastl -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
