I am the proud owner of a new dual core AMD 64-bit system and am fighting to get it into shape to replace my old system. I am currently fighting the browser plug-in situation. Is there any tutorial, white-paper or the like that someone can point me to to do this?
Alternatively how do I create a 32-bit browser?

You can swipe the Fedora i386 RPMs, and try to install them. rpm will probably complain about some missing libraries. Grab the indicated i386 library RPMs, lather, rinse, repeat.

I am running a dual Opteron system and use 64-bit firefox as my primary browser. I am almost glad that there are no plugins because most flash applets are spam anyway. If I really happen to hit a page that needs flash or java I copy the URL to 32-bit Opera.

My problem is that one of the main sites that I need to access makes heavy use of DjVu images. DjVuLibre does not have a 64-bit version and the source will not compile (bug filed on it).
How do you get a running 32-bit Opera? I tried installing the rpm from the Opera site, and it comes up with run-time errors involving shared libraries.

Have you tried this? You get into an incomprehensible mess of conflicting libraries.
Same here. No matches when I tried a "yum search opera". When I changed exactarch=1 to 0 in /etc/yum.conf I got zillions of pages. No way I am going to blindly install all that, although I have some trust in yum.

Just downloaded and installed opera-8.50-20050916.6.i386.rpm, the version recommended for FC4.
I guess you need at least qt-3.3.4-15.4.i386 installed, other than that I could only advice if you post your error messages.

PS: You may as well download and unpack firefox from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.7/linux-i686/en-...

What error messages?
I'm doing the same here (64bit primary, 32bit Opera when I need plugins) and it works just fine.

Please tell me, if You had a visible performance increase after change from 32-bit architecture? If Your programs being 64-bit also.
