   That will eventually be the route I go when they're available, as I'd like to   
   eventually set this up on a GUI-less system. I've installed Ubuntu Mate 32bit   
   on my other raspi3 for now just to play with the FMail code. Once I'm able to   
   compile it for aarch32 I will most likely re-install 32bit Archlinux.

   That's a given.

   Okay.

   Bleh. So far behind the times. ;)

   Ok, good to know. I had some issues trying to get a GUI installed on the 64bit   
   Archlinux install, and it seemed like some programs, while they may have been   
   ported to install properly on aarch64, didn't work as expected. Running   
   "lspci" on my 32bit raspi3 would at least give an error that it can't open   
   /proc/bus/pci. The 64bit version said absolutely nothing - and the 64bit   
   version is not well supported, if at all. So I think I'll stick with 32bit on   
   those things. ;)   
      
    NB>> (obviously the ARM support may bring in it's own problems, but   
    NB>> besides that..)?   
      
    WV> Obviously. ;)   
      
   Can't hurt to give it a shot though. I'll let you know if I run into any   
   issues.   
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
