Why make things more complicated. What is the rationale to pick i686 over others now. Why change to x86-64 which is AMD origin. If slashed to listing are list of vender released names, it should be (AMD64/Intel 64). We picked one archive identifier at one point of history. Osamu
Strictly speaking, and because nobody wrote about it, Intel calls it EM64T. A nice way to write it by the publicity team would be:
"amd64 arch [1] [1] Intel supports this arch in most of its recent processors, and brands / references it as the EM64T feature set" This would help avoiding reactions like the one of W. Anderson, and should be enough. Just my 2 cents... Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
