For most people there is nothing to hold you back from running 64-bit Linux.

Except the fact that Microsoft Windows is superior in every aspect.

Owning a 32 bit computer might be an issue.

Yeah if only running wireless in 64 bit worked without the ritual blood sacrifice. Or ndiswrapper, or having to re-install with every kernel update.
Stupid ath wireless.
Then maybe I'd care about Java/Flash...

I really want to hear what you would recommend as a wholesale replacement for Java. I'm pretty sure I don't know of anything that's as broadly applicable.
Try C++, which seems to get much less attention than it should. It's undeniably faster than Java, but equally good at creating usable abstractions.

Please fix for Tiger. We certainly won't appreciate having to wait 18 months for a fix that's probably trivial on Sun's part.

Agreed, I'm so sick and tired of playing with this old in-memory relational database with a separate record for every atom in my house.
