Greetings,
I am currently back to using Fedora (and very happy I might add) and running 12/32. Would it be a safe statement to say that a large portion (better then 80%) of the apps in the 12/32 repos will also be available in the 12/64 repos?
Of course, I would sacrifice the ability to use my 64 bit system to ensure I have all the apps that I currently use under 32 bit.
TIA

wine is 32 bit. (Though that is changing.) But you can still install it
If you use proprietary browser plugins or do development where you build 32 bit apps or libraries, you will need the 32 bit versions of some things installed in addition to the 64 bit versions.
You should be able to get pretty much anything that works on a 32 bit x86 system to work on a 64 bit x86 system.

Thanks Bruno. I sorta thought that to begin with (with reservations of course). I wanted a tab of feedback before I wipe my 32-bit install in favor of 64.
Thanks for the replies.
