Hi,
Just bought a new AMD Athlon 64b PC.
I tend to install a 64b version on it (Mandriva 2006 and/or Kubuntu/SUSE 10
OSS). However, I'm afraid not all applications are available in 64b version
(e.g., Flash). Can I, and should I, install 32b packages "on top" on of the
above mentioned 64b Linux versions?

TIA
