Hi,

I will be installing 64 bit 9.04 on a new machine due to be delivered next week. On this, I plan to use OpenVZ and would like to create some 32 bit VE containers. I can't find any information about doing this except that it is possible. I'd appreciate some pointers...

I'd also like to understand a bit more about how 64 bit works as this will be my first 64 bit system. I know a 32 bit HE or a 32 bit VPS can only access 4Gb - but can many 32 bit VPS running on a 64 bit host collectively use more than 4Gb (hope I make sense there) ?

Also, do apps running in a 32 bit VPS suffer a higher memory footprint due to the 64 bit host (due to the longer 64 bit word lengths, etc) or does the cpu somehow enter a 32 bit mode when running the VPS ?

Any answers appreciated plus any pointers to install guides for 32 bit VPS on 64 bit he.
