Still at this point, except for legacy applications and old hardware, it's worth moving. Also, code written for 64 bit should work on 32 bit except for memory limitations, like going the other way 32bit code that doesn't run on 64bit is usually because it wasn't very well written. And multilib means you don't need the whole OS to be 32bit just to use old apps if you need to. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
