SubjectRe: Byte article - 64 bit Unix

Thus spake Rob Glover:

There was a thread about this (in fact, probably dozens of them) in
c.o.l.advocacy some time back...I wish we'd finished with the issue
there.

Linux on the Alpha is 64-bit (address space, etc.).
Linux on almost every other platform is 32-bit.
(I understand that Linux on the Ultra will be 64-bit, which will make
it the first 64-bit OS for that hardware. Poor Sun.)
