what about the 64 bit version ? i always get warning/errors about spec package requirements. java-15-0-sun-plugin no valid solution found with just resolvables of best architecture speex cannot be installed
No experience personally.
However, I've read that 64-bit is mostly for servers these days.
That's not entirely accurate or, if it is, don't tell the 3 64bit desktops I'm running, or the one my wife uses.
There is no 32-bit Flash plugin, there's no 32-bit java plugin....
ITYM no 64bit Flash or Java plugins. Strangely, my wife likes to visit a couple of web sites that have a selection of Java games and puzzles, and while Firefox complained about a missing plugin, Konqueror worked just fine with 64bit Java package. Unfortunately, because she dual boots and uses Firefox under XP, she keeps going for Firefox and then complaining that the site doesn't work.
...from what I understand, you need the 32-bit versions of Firefox
That's what I ended up doing to stop her complaints. I installed the 32bit version of Firefox and the 32bit version of Java and the Java plugins and she's happy now.
and the multimedia tools.
No need for that. I'm running the 64bit versions of Amarok, Kaffeine and Xine on my 10.3 box, all from Packman, and there's no problem with them. For video transcoding I use FFmpeg, making packages from the latest sources in the FFmpeg SVN rather than using Packmans version. For MP3 encoding, I use Lame on the command line for WAV files, or grip for ripping CDs.
