I'm setting up a pier site on a CMS today and
need to know whether I should set up a 32 or 64 bit OS. I'm planning on just

otherwise.
It doesn't really matter. I am using an 64bit OS for many years
now,
but since the the Pharo/Squeak VM does not support 64bit the VMs run
using the Linux 32bit compatibly libraries. The advantage of 64bit is
that the OS and other tools can profit from the 64bit address space.
Got it.
Also I'm thinking that maybe I don't want to use the one-click Pier app to run my
site, because it uses Seaside 2.8. So...what should I do instead? Download Pharo 1.1
(which is insanely fast) and install Pier using metacello?
Pat,
It depends.
If you want to have the full Seaside3.0/Pier environment available in
your image, then I'd say go with Lukas' zip file.
If know what add ns you want to use and you want a minimal/production
install then I'd say you should use Metacello:
Gofer new
squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
package: 'ConfigurationOfPier2';
package: 'ConfigurationOfPierAddOns2';
load.
then:
"avoid loading tests"
(ConfigurationOfPier2 project version: '2.0.6') load: 'Core'.
"load in the add ons that you want to use"
ConfigurationOfPierAddOns2 project version: '2.0.6')
load: #("list add ons you want").
version 2.0.6 is technically in development but I don't anticipate too
many changes before it is released (any day now:)...
