Re: [opensuse] 32 or 64 bit?

ATM I am running openSUSE 10.2 x86_64, but I notice that some programs,
outside the standard repository tree, are only supplied for 32bit OS.

Will I be able to install and run these apps?

If not, how do I force the openSUSE installation to allow me to install a
32bit OS? I only have 2G RAM, so no real need for 64bit.

You can run both 32 and 64 bit apps with 64 bit SUSE. The only issue
I'm aware of is a lack of plugins for 64 bit browsers.
