As I don't have any x86_64 machines, I'm going to be limited help there, but I'm stepping up to clear crm114 as quickly as I can once that's resolved.

According to the research I did while looking for a definitive founding date for the Linux Counter's LUG listing (http://lugww.counter.li.org/groups.cms?&cc=US&rc=MN), the date of that first meeting was 1998-02-07. I'm not off-hand finding my source on that, but I do recall seeing an email that cited that specific date (else I would have been more vague). I wasn't there, but I'm a bit of a historian. Jima
