I have no idea : when 2.1 will be ported to FreeBSD, but I hope it will be soon. : : OTOH, I see little reason to run amd64 on most systems which don't have : large memories or some other specific reason to run it. The binaries are : larger and generally performance changes are minimal. Last time I tried to build, I tripped over the jdk needing java needing mozilla and mozilla was marked as not buildable due to security issues. Warner
