Hey Benny!

 BP> drop multilib, it saves ram, and raise speeds

I haven't used multilib since the first custom build I did way back when,
around 15 years ago.  See below for the latest glibc deployed here;

----- ':read !/lib/libc.so.6' starts

Furthermore there is no lib64 even as symlinks anywhere on the latest
x86_64-silvermont-linux-gnu, or my other box which is a comparable
x86_64-bonnell-linux-gnu.

The only reason I mentioned multilib was because someone here stated that he
required 32 bit libs to run some games on what looks to me to be a 64 bit
system.  Also it was a reply to one of my aarch64 running on a raspberry pi 3
so I suspect he thought that the aarch64 ought to be multilib which it isn't,
or at least the one I first built wasn't.

 BP> this is still not gentoo :=)

Correct.  I don't have any of their tools and instead built my own and so far
continue to use those.  Simple, lean and mean for whatever task they are
allocated to take care of.

 BP> but atom is atleast not supporting intel ME (nsa / fbi / silly

I honestly don't care.  None of them are paying the bills here so their input
... or lack of it ... is of no importance, especially considering that they are
US government and not Canadian.

 BP> if i know right systemd parts on linux help it

Not that I ever noticed.  I am still using sysvinit.  Also still using lilo
instead of (U)EFI boots ... just like Mom used to do.  :-)

I see no reason to change ... yet.  Do you?

Life is good,
Maurice
