This may be an OT.

I don't think using i386 is a bad idea either, unless one has some
specific reason to use amd64.

I was a long term user of i386 and just to find out whether it makes any
difference (since I could not find any reasons why people use amd64,
except where they know they need a 64 bit system) I recently switched to
amd64. I gained nothing, at least for my purpose, but lost wine.
