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.

Can't hurt to give it a shot though. I'll let you know if I run into any
issues.

Nick
