Greg - there exists 64-bit firefox / flash and audio? I wasn't aware.

I ordered a few weeks back a new laptop - 64-bit/8G RAM - and it is coming
with Red Hat. I know I can run KDE over red hat but that it isn't integrated.
I am thinking of possibly switching to openSUSE 64-bit or SLED 64-bit. I'd be
able to run the browser, flash and audio in native 64-bit? (I had assumed
I'd be using 32-bit versions for those.)

I bought the laptop speciifcally to run VM sessions of linux/unix and wintendo
so the browsers running native would just be a plus.

Kai,

That machine is at my office, so I can't double check the versions,
but I believe it is all 64-bit. I'm sure firefox is and I'm running
the ff3 rc1 package. Flash works. Audio works.

Ask again on Tuesday and I can tell you which packages I'm using for sure.

Greg

Okay apparently its only firefox that is 64-bit:

MozillaFirefox-3.0-3.1 x86_64

flash-player-9.0.124.0-0.1 seems to only have a 32-bit version, but
it works with above.

audacity-1.3.4-3.pm.beta to my surprise I'm running the 32-bit
version, even though a 64-bit version is available. I don't use it
much, so I'm not going to experiment with the 64-bit version.
