Yes, I installed the debian amd64 distro.
(I thought that was clear :) I wanted to find out more about amd64 so I
installed the debian (amd64) distro. Why would I install the i386 one to
find out about amd64? I already have 20 Sarge as well as Sid installs on
386!)

I installed using the etch Beta installer disk and immediately upgraded to sid
(Like I usually do for workstations - Hey I like to live dangerously!).
However I notice that system tty on boot up says
Debian Gnu/Linux testing/unstable Rashi tty4
Thats why I wrote that.
Now that you make your comment, why does it say testing/unstable in the
tty1-6 on all my sid machines?
After all, I am running sid. I do have both sid and testing in
the /etc/apt/sources.lst file but I use no pinning, and want unadulterated
sid...

Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I see indeed! when i do
int * pointer;
intf("Size of int * is %d\n",sizeof(pointer ));
indeed it does print out 8 !!!
Thanks. You also answered my question on how to program to 64 bit. I just use
int64 ie long long. Thanks!!!
