What is the advantage of a chroot? It is certainly more difficult to set up and more work to maintain. My personal reasons for i386: - - I use the 64-bit machine interchangably with my 32-bit laptop, so all programs, behaviour etc. should be identical (without too much hassle). - - some packages are not available for amd64 (mainly non-free, backports), so I presently use different software versions on both machines or the software is not readily available on amd64 (which is bad) - - some web pages, which I can not avoid using, don't run on the amd64 box. With some hassle, I expect I could solve those problems. What are the advantages of staying with plain 64-bit instead of a userland-32 system with 64-bit kernel? Why should I bother?
