As always, the answer is "it depends" but i386 & amd64 are both common and well supported. Depending on the kind of programming you're doing other options are also valid. At home I typically work on a Sun Ultra 5 (sparc64) and occasionally test on amd64 and i386. Mixing big/little endian, and 64/32 bit is really nice when developing. And if you can make performance acceptable on sparc64 then it'll scream on amd64/i386 I'd love to force the Firefox people develop and test on sparc64. ;-) -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG dwchand...@stilyagin.com | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
