Of course, they missed out on OpenOffice (but that's about to change). Really not a whole lot else though -- the basics are all there. Every app I use on a regular basis works fine on pure x86_64. What if there were an option in yum.conf (dunno, could already be doable) to not install any i?86 bits, unless the user explicitly overrides that setting? > How many developers will run a pure > 64bit system and check it works ? I've got a pair of spare x86_64 boxes atm, I'd be happy to give it a try. Lots of development work on my primary workstation though, so it stays multilib. :) -- Jarod Wilson jwilson@xxxxxxxxxx
