That's my question.
Thinking about installing 64-bit openSuse 11.3 for speed reasons, but I do
run many out of the way desktop programs: Xosview, Metamorphose, EasyTag,
FileZilla, Catfish, which I'm sure are only compiled in 32-bit.
Then there's that whole 64-bit mess with Firefox and Flash and I'm not sure
if that's ever been resolved.
Can anyone let me know the further drawbacks of going 64? Also, am I correct
that 32 bit apps won't run at all?
32 bit programs run fine on 64 bit machines with 64 bit OS's.
In the case of Flash, if no 32 bit version yet, just use a 32 bit browser and flash works fine. I don't even know if there is a 64 bit Firefox.
