I have been running 64-bit amd64 as my primary desktop since the original Sarge pre-Etch timeframe. For all free software components it is very well supported and reliable. That is good for me. But full disclosure means mentioning that some closed source proprietary applications will need some special handholding. For the ones I have given into running I do so in a 32-bit chroot environment. But this is a good reason to push harder on free software solutions such that everything can just work. Closed source proprietary software has been and continues to be much trouble. > Exactly!

Sounds like fun! Maybe it will result in a better program and we will eventually see your improved software in Debian. Bob
