Re: 1. acpi question

bacon will prolly roll out a 64 if theres enough weight behind... not forcing the guy.

Re: 1. acpi question

not sure. big debate no clear winner. personally the 32bit spin flies on my 64 bit machine... if it's a flip between a 32 bit bbq and a 64bit homebrew.... but hey linux is about choices. btw threesome release works nice with xfce4-power-manager... dont display the tray icon...at least not with a con...
