As far as I've seen kernel and system isn't a problem with the amd64 version, but how about ports? To be specific here's what I'd like to install on this machine: o) mrtg o) cacti o) nfsen o) named (caching DNS only) o) ntpd o) TSM-client (Client for IBM Backup-System running in Linux emulation mode) Does anybody have experience with any of these applications under the amd64-Version of FreeBSD? Caveats any? Thanks in advance for any clue, -ewald
