It's not a problem with FreeBSD, really. The ports themselves should get to work under amd64.
Ahh, very good point. I didn't look at it from that angle.
2006 will probably become the year of widespread adoption of 64-bit computing. Until it ends, you'd better use FreeBSD/i386 on your desktops. All server software that was popular enough was ensured to run on FreeBSD/amd64 smoothly.
Yes, the "flash" plugin had me sigh also... From being used to using Unix based OS's for a while, I've come to "not" expect flash to work on anything, sad as it may seem. I guess it's like the "unix-fonts" in our browsers, you kinda get numb to the whole thing.
