> If only Debian also distributed a version compiled for an i686 and x86-64. I know it probably wont make a huge difference for most programs. But it niggles at my sensibilities that I am not using the architecture to its full. Um, I think they do have a x64 version... $ cat /etc/debian_version 6.0 $ file /bin/bash /bin/bash: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically link ed (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped $ file /lib/libc-2.11.2.so /lib/libc-2.11.2.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dyn amically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped

Oops my bad. I know, 'cause I am running one. What the hell was I thinking.

You lucky 64-bit people: * cat /etc/debian_version 6.0 * file /bin/bash /bin/bash: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped * file /lib/libc-2.11.2.so /lib/libc-2.11.2.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, stripped * grep name /proc/cpuinfo model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz * This used to bother me, but now that a Pentium 4 seems nearly as archaic as an 80386, I guess it's not so much of an issue.
