Ooops! Tell me in plain Ingalaish if I should avoid a 64 bit os for MythTV,
I'm busy setting up 64 bit Debian, but will abort if everyone agrees that
32 bit is still the way to go. There is a 32 bit emulation that seems to
work for some things, but if stuff like win32 codecs are going to break
then I guess 64 bit still hasn't hit primetime.
