No need to apologize. I can't imagine the work that gets put into this.
Would you recommend using 1.6 over an older build? before I blew out my previous install, I was using a compiled build of AM v1.4.1 without any issues.
As a side note, am I to assume that I can run the x32 build of AM on a x64 Linux (lubuntu) as long as I've loaded the i386 libraries?
Thanks for all you do, I appreciate the help.
