Sure, there still some applications that are not natively ported to 64 bits, like Skype (recently cited in the list) or Mozilla products. That's not a non-stop and there are by-passes to get them installed, but it requires a bit of mess with libraries (installing the 32-compat) and for Mozilla products I dunno what is their status... that said, some people could prefer to stick with 32-bits installs and rest like a happy camper :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
