Amd64 - How about a section for us ? :)

Well I think it's time for us (amd64 users) to have our own section dedicated to amd64 issues like ppc and sparc. I don't know if we have to contact one of the admins but we might as well put a poll up

.

What do you think ?

Do amd64 users are sufficiently enough in numbers to have a dedicated section ? If so raise your hand please and explain your point of view

. Mine's already way up !

P.S. Sorry but I though we could do polls here

. Might as well do it the old fashion way ...

[edit] Typos ...

Well, I'm with you.
An AMD64 forum seems to be not only a good idea, but a necessity... ;-)

Sounds like a good idea to me...especially considering the teething pains we're experiencing.

May someone should file a bug against the forums at bugs.gentoo.org and request an AMD64 forum.

Alright, I was wondering what I was supposed to do. I'll do it and post the bug number right here

[Edit]

hear hear!

(a fitting thread to post in when posting for the first time from my shiny new 64-bit gentoo install!)

And a more organized list of working masked packages. We can do this =]

Aggreed, and an obvious post/sticky to the AMD64 technotes

I quite agree, I have more then enough problems getting (64 bit) Gentoo to run on my dual opteron....

So...who do we ask for a forum dedicated to the architecture?

Check the "Forums Feedback" forum. It's a better bet than bugzilla...
