We're glad you like it. If you find any problems with the 0.9.4 release, 
please let us know as soon as possible, as we are very close to the 1.0 
release now.

I think the 32-bit version will be important for users who have mixed 
hardware environments, or no access to 64-bit hardware at all, for at 
least a couple of years. After that, we'll have to see what the demand 
for 32-bit software is like.

 > Is 64 Studio a funded project?

Not in the way that Agnula was, with grant funding from government 
sources. However the company 64 Studio Ltd. exists to support the 
project, and this company does custom development work based on the 
distribution. We will also be offering commercial support to end users 
in future.

Cheers!

Daniel
