Hi,

I'd also like to know wether boxbackup will work in a 64bit environment. 
I'm about to order a new server to replace my current server.  It is 
looking to be an 64bit Opteron machine, which will run Gentoo Linux in 
64bit mode.
Currently boxbackup is running fine on Gentoo Linux on a 32 bit Athlon 
XP.  Will I need a 32bit environment for boxbackup on the new server?

Thanks for any tips/advice,

Dennis
