A lousy task, since there's no X port, and no gdb either. Plus, ia64 boxes are ruddy expensive, and so there's not enough of them to play with. I was thinking of getting an amd64 box to play with, to perhaps sort out some of the other 32-bit x86 linux-centric stuff in KDE. However, I'm a KDE guy, not a kernel, X, or gdb guy, so I need to have that basis stable before I can get anything done. How's X's stability on amd64 right now? Does gdb work? -- Adriaan de Groot groot@kde.org http://freebsd.kde.org GPG Key Fingerprint 934E 31AA 80A7 723F 54F9 50ED 76AC EE01 FEA2 A3FE
