32-bit Linux emulation would be all he could use in 32-bit mode anyway.=20
Linux32 emulation works great for me and I have no significant issues
with anything running in 64-bit mode natively either.  The only
exception being the lack of a Java VM.  This is a well-known limitation
that will hopefully be addressed when Suns Java 5 comes out with a
source license in a few more weeks.
