but since i dont have flash or acrobat reader running on my x86_64 system it would otherwise be ok to do?

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.
