My only regret so far is that the nvidia drivers | don't have a 64 bit version, but the box and video card are fast | enough so that isn't really a problem. I'm pleasantly surprised that | so far all of my ports work in 64 bit mode as well. That was my experience with the nvidia stuff before :-( FYI, it should be trival to jail/chroot 32bit env. on your 64bit host. I should merge some of the make/env. bits from -current to -stable. I'll do it after 6.2 is out. I'm thinking about make a general purpose way to create an image and jump into it. We have it at work and as a proof of concept. I created a 32bit environment on a 64bit host and did port built and package add in there of Linux stuff. Doug A.
