[LBo] 64 v. 32 bit.

[Geoff Jones]

I recently acquired a 64 bit box for the first time. I have 32 + 64 bit Debian 
testing installed on it. On the 64 version, I keep running into problems 
finding 64 bit Apps - and also browser plugins ( like no JRE x64  ? ).

I have to decide which will be my "main" os.

I would like to hear other peoples experience of 64 bit architecture - 
especially whether losing "convenience" is a good trade-off for "operational 
improvement"? 

[ This is hardly new technology - why is software still so far behind? ]

Geoff.
