I've been experimenting with exactly that idea (x86_64 only, no 32-bit stuff at
all) ever since I set up this computer with F8/x86_64 a while back. It's
working fine, with the obvious exception that you can't run i386 software on
it. Not a problem for most stuff.
If you try it and don't like it, I think you could put it back to being a
i386-capable machine by simply removing that line from yum.conf and installing
some i386 software. However, I'm not entirely certain of that -- does anyone
know for sure?
Yes you can.
I did it. I was solely x86_64 (in CentOS) for about 3 days - until I
discovered a site I frequent really does depend upon flash.
Not only did the flash plugin pull in a bunch of i386 dependencies - but
nspluginwrapper didn't work unless I also had i386 firefox installed.
