Hi all,

I've got a Dell PowerEdge SC1425 with Sarge running on it.
Apparently the box supports Intel's EM64T, but it's currently running
a standard i386 kernel.

What are the advantages of running an x86_64 / ia64 kernel?

Are there any special steps to take to upgrade it?

Can I upgrade the kernel without upgrading the userspace apps?

What do I need to do to upgrade the userspace apps when the time comes?

How safe is the upgrade?

Many thanks,
Chris
