I am going to be forced to install OpenSuSE 10.3 32 bit in a couple of locations, because a key application won't work well under 64 bit.
If that is ever resolved can 10.3 32 bit be "upgraded" to 64 bit without major problems...?
I guess its the increasing preponderance of 64-bit systems, but this one is rapidly becoming a FAQ. No. Clean install only. I'm possibly in the situation of needing 64-bit (due to memory requirements of a particular user of my Java code), but I'm going to try to put off the 64-bit installation until openSUSE 11.0 is out. One thing I've been doing for years now is always using a new drive or new partition for every major SuSE Linux / openSUSE upgrade I do. That way I don't burn any bridges. It's costly, but much safer. On one of my boxes, I've still got the pared down, remnant root partitions of a 9.2 and a 9.3 release—the system now running is SuSE Linux 10.0.
