i'm interested in your use for puredata .. i've loaded up my favourite  
pd patches on my amd box and they work very, very well on my system  
(ubuntustudio-64) .. but not yet bothered with chuck on this machine  
as its working great on my mac.  i'm assuming word issues are at stake  
with chuck?

for me the big benefit is in being able to exploit the 8gigs of RAM,  
soon to be 16, in my machine and for compiler environments and so on,  
many virtualbox/qemu sessions is amazing with such amounts of RAM.

putting a whole VM in RAM, with a RAM disc, its very very fast.  so:  
RAM.  :0

i'd like to know more about the problems .. of course i have been able  
to maintain a clean lib32 compatability layer for some things, but it  
did take a little command line love, i admit ..
