Do I need 64 bit?

Unless I am mistaken, among the goals of MX-14, challenging the distros you mentioned was not among them..

Correct. MX14 wasn't/isn't a race.

[fu-sen]

I think that it is enough.

It is a legitimate discussion as there are those who do not understand the decision and background that went into the development. It is helpful to let them know.

Since I'm new to MX-14 and I find this distro very appealing I'm glad you still consider to discuss this topic. Thank you for your patience. (As for my comment about "competition" I was just refering to Uncle Mark's "look out mint !")

I don't agree with most arguments previously exposed against a 64bit edition (I could explain my point on each of them but I understand you feel tired of this). Nevertheless I do understand now the one about the lack of ressources to achieve this port (to be franc I am not aware how much work this would cost). Fair enough.

ok, I take the status as it is. Does not mean to me I will stop my trip with MX: as I said before, MX is one of te best Xfce I've found around. MX is fast, polished, up to date, shiny. Since it's Debian Stable based, I guess it is stable too and will remain so for a long enough time. More point. Finally, the addition of Compiz by Stevo (https://github.com/Jubei-Mitsuyoshi/aaa-debian-repo.git) just pushed MX in my top 3 (cause I put compiz every time the pc can handle it smoothly). Thanks for providing the community such a good work.

What we need is another Community member to take this over b/c anti simply can not. "Take over" means development and support, though with the Debian-antiX OS and Xfce DE, the task would be manageable.

BTW: if anybody is willing and able, s/he should PM the Lead Developer.

Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to bring the slightest help on this... The best I can do is to send my support; maybe a 'donate' click can do it. Done.
