folks,

I have a UltraSPARC 10 which is about to get an install of NetBSD.  The
machine is going to be used as a general web server (apache, mail, mysql,
etc).  It is not going to be the firewall, or at least not if the current
filewall is running:)

What, if any, advantage is there to going with the 64-bit kernel over
the 32-bit kernel?  Might there already be a document somewhere that
discusses this?

Sam
