Does anyone have a > recipe on how to get wine running? There is someone who makes packages for wine on amd64. See http://people.freebsd.org/~ivoras/wine/ If these packages don't work, see http://wiki.freebsd.org/Wine and http://149.20.54.209/showthread.php?t=3D13982 > Current system is 8.2-STABLE/amd64.

Try if the available packages work first; that is probably significantly le= ss work.=20 Otherwise, with only 2 GB RAM I don't think there is much gained by using amd64. Unless your particular applications are faster on amd64. > And maybe fix Gtk+ triggered GPU trouble that way? :-) Could be.
