If there are no serious objections,
I'll probably proceed in relatively near future (e.g. this month)
to "upgrade"(/sidegrade/crossgrade) the sflug host (providing sf-lug.org &
sf-lug.com) from "32-bit" (i386) to "64-bit" (amd64)
installation.

Rationale (at least in key part):
Simplification of administration.  At present that host is the one and
only "odd man out" - of three hosts installed on that physical box (1
physical and 2 virtual), sflug is the only remaining 32-bit installation.
Conversion to 64 bit would render it to be same architecture (and  
distribution)
as the other 2 hosts on that physical box (which would also save on
bandwidth and storage, etc.)
