[haiku-development] A 64-bit OS question...

Please excuse this question, but it's something I would like to know, what
is a 64 bit OS?

What makes an OS 64 bits? Is it that 64 bits can be addressed by the OS? Is
it that all instructions are 64 bits in nature?
Is a 64 bit OS created just by changing a compiler flag when compiling the
OS?

Oh, yeah, Haiku is cool. It is fast. Love that speed. You, the community,
are doing a great job.

Thanks,

g.
