I have not run into any problems using 64bit as my desktop (I run
Firefox as 32bit to get flash to work, but that is the only
"modification"). I do this both at home and at work. Granted, I use
Fedora 7 on both of them, but there is no reason why you couldn't get
the same functionality using CentOS. I'm not afraid of compiling or
rebuilding RPMs though. Between Karanbir's RPM repository
( http://centos.karan.org ) and EPEL
( http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL ) I imagine that you could have a
fairly complete desktop OS (I just prefer more bleeding-edge
software/features).
