Of course, it doesn't matter if the clients are 64/32 bit or even what OS they are running. Cheers. -J

So could I edit, say a gimp jpg file produced by a client on the server? Or OpenOffice for example? (Yeah, I know it's not the done think. I just want to know)

If you want to test it, go to http://www.testdrive.hp.com, get an account. There are a number of 32-bit and 64-bit systems. The nfs server happens to be a 64-bit Linux Itanium. (Of course, your access will be text mode via telnet). -- Jerry Feldman Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Yes, yes and yes. 32/64 does not affect the user files at all, it's how fast the machine can move data around. -- Dave Cotton

People have used various machines in the old days (until x86 became predominant) and still everything worked for them. Ever knew that the graphics from DOOM were made on a Nextstep? Jan Engelhardt --

Yes. The server CPU type is completely independent of the client CPU type.
