[Tfug] Report: first 1/2 hour with Fedora 10-64bit

[Calvin Dodge]

I tried 64-bit briefly, but it had weird network issues (could not
reach google.com or yahoo.com, but could reach many other sites).

The problem occurred regardless of iptables operation (running or
not), and disabling SELinux had no effect, either.

3 finally gave up, and installed 32-bit. THAT does not exhibit the same problem.
