Aren't there still problems with some applications, plugins for Firefox, binary drivers for graphics adapters?
Yes, but there are 32-bit versions of FireFox and flash that work fine on the x86_64 systems. I use 32-bit FireFox on my x86_64 system w/o a problem.
Can you elaborate a little more on this?
I just recently installed 10.2 64-bit on a Sun Ultra 40 (dual amd 246 chips). I can install the i586 version of firefox, but it can't get it to talk to the network at all. It's as if I don't even have a plumbed ethernet interface. So firefox will run, but all attempts at connecting to the internet fail. Reinstall the 64-bit version of firefox, and I can browse no problem.
I have no such problem with the 32 bit versions of Firefox and Seamonkey on my 64 bit system. -- Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
