i would not recommend the article, the migration path is messy, and only
for people with very high skills, because not every package is
32bit/64bit compatible with their data file on disk format.
so the migration is only for people who know which daemons they running,
and how they store their data on disk.
Whatever you do, make a full backup of your system.
