I understand. Normally, I'd agree with you, especially since they're not
AMD processors, but Intel EM64T processors, so they shouldn't have any
real problems with the i386 code. However, I'm just a student they hired
to help out for a few months with the cluster (I graduate in April), and
so maintainability and consistency are pretty important. The rest of the
cluster is running everything in x86_64 packages, so I'd like to keep it
as consistant as possible. That, and it's what my boss told me to do.
If I had my choice, I'd re-architect the whole cluster using x86_64
debian, but that's another story...
Thanks again,
Lloyd
