FWIW, it works on Linux too. I ran F10 i386 on a x86_64 kernel for a
while. About the only thing that doesn't work right is yum wrt kernel
updates.
For a lot of tasks, you simply do not need 64-bit pointers and a
64-bit process address space. Both executable code and in-memory
data structures tend to be smaller on 32-bit.
Indeed.
It would be nice if i386-userspace/x64-kernel were officially
support..
