In general, there is no security-wise difference between the two architectures, but the amd64 port of sarge is UNOCCIFICIAL and thus may create some risk you are not willing to accept.
On AMD 64-bit processors, the speed increase of amd64 is noticable (using it right now). I heard that this is not quite the case on Intel processors, as Intel only included the feature as not to lose too much market to AMD. Your choice. On a webserver, I doubt you will want any x86-inly packages. > > Tanks > > Beat Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
