moving on, i have a roomful of gateway MX7120 laptops (with AMD 64-bit mobile athlon CPU) that i use for linux training and, until now, i've just wimped out and installed the 32-bit version of fedora on them for my clients, and that works just fine. but i figure, why waste all that 64-bit computing power, so is there any compelling reason to *not* upgrade them all to fedora x86_64 for those courses? that is, are there any real show-stoppers when it comes to fedora x86_64 that would make that version unusable? thanks.
Aside from firefox plugins (which aren't much trouble), I've found everything to be completely smooth. I prefer 64-bit for anything with more than 896 MB of RAM, just so I don't have to worry about the archaic lowmem/highmem break.
