I might also point out java, which nobody else has pointed out thus far. |

Simple applets and apps work fine with either blackdown or sun-jre/jdk. |
7 |
However, more complex apps can tend to break in 64-bit land due to bugs in |
8 |
the VMs. I've found some that work with blackdown only and some which run |
9 |
with sun-1.5 only (which is a beta that breaks all kinds of other stuff). |

I've gotten so frustrated with 1.5 issues that right now I don't have java |
12 |
installed at all 64-bit. I just run it in a 32-bit chroot. |

If you are just running simple stuff I wouldn't worry about it, but if you |
15 |
want to run anything complex I'd consider using a chroot... |
