x32
From section "Will I have a performance upgrade if I use a 64bit system instead of 32bit?":

64bit is generally faster when it comes to floating point computing…

If my understanding right, x32 applications works with FPU as well as "regular" x86_64 apps. Maybe make sense expand this article with notes about x32 or at least proper links? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Totktonada (talk • contribs) 29 March 2014‎

Necessary of "rc-update add cpufrequtils boot"
About /etc/{conf,init}.d/cpufrequtils from section "How do I use Cool'n'Quiet/PowerNow/SpeedStep features?".

I understand why someone can need START_OPTS: set CPU governor at startup without kernel rebuild. Useful of such feature is ambiguous, but okay. But what function perform STOP_OPTS, why someone can need in this?

At least note that "rc-update add cpufrequtils boot" is very optional make sense in this article. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Totktonada (talk • contribs) 29 March 2014‎

flash player - warning
Flash player has picked up the support for gnu/linux is useless to leave that warning, which indicates that the package is old.


 * Hi, please remember to sign discussions using the "Signature and timestamp" button in the edit toolbox. This page is editable by every user. Please remove the warning yourself if it is not accurate because the package doesn't exist in the Gentoo ebuild repository anymore. Kind regards, --Maffblaster (talk) 12:33, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Links multilib
In the section "What is multilib and how can I use it?" is a warning that contains a link (in other languages as english), the content of the blog it links to has changed (now distributing a film download), we should remove the link but I dont know how to do it because it is already removed in the english version and the other ones are translated versions.


 * Hi, please remember to sign discussions using the "Signature and timestamp" button in the edit toolbox. If the link is already gone in the English version, you'll have to wait for the translators of the non-English articles to catch up to the point where the English article resides. There is nothing anyone can do in order to speed up translations besides performing the actual translation work (which I don't do). --Maffblaster (talk) 12:33, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
