  It will run on *MY* machine, which is all I really care about.

  Gentoo has long been able to run in 64-bit mode.  A few years ago, the
2 stumbling blocks were Realplayer and Schlockwave-Trash.  They didn't
have 64-bit versions, and I did not feel like futzing around with
compatability libraries and/or chrooting.  Realplayer is no longer
important on the web, and Adobe has a pre-release 64-bit linux flash
player at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

  I will give 64-bit mode a shot this time around.  No guarantees that I
will stick with it, but I will give it a shot.
