if you work for your own this may be right, but if you are working for b e l 
o v e d customers you have to do some suboptimal things...

can you explain this? what could be reasons for two different 64bit layouts? 
( i need some arguments against ubuntu ;) )

ok, php4 is dead, but i am interested in general aspects in 64 bit OS 
design... why did suse choose this direction? seems to be for me a very 
aggressiv way to push 64bit and cause developers to watch their steps of 
cost of expensive patching/loss of older software?

Thanks,
