: The new release of OOo is SUPPOSED to be 64-bit clean. I have no idea
: when 2.1 will be ported to FreeBSD, but I hope it will be soon.

: OTOH, I see little reason to run amd64 on most systems which don't have
: large memories or some other specific reason to run it. The binaries are
: larger and generally performance changes are minimal.

Last time I tried to build, I tripped over the jdk needing java
needing mozilla and mozilla was marked as not buildable due to
security issues.
