I run my mythbackend with x86_64 Fedora 8 - it's primary task is as a
mythbackend (with encoding to h.264 taking a fair bit of its time), but it
is also a general fileserver, zoneminder server, the occasional VM server.
It's been good for that.

I run my frontends on the 32 bit version of Fedora 8, because
graphical/flash type things are more important to me than a marginal
increase in speed.
