I have been running an x86_64 (amd64) system for a few months now. The |
| 9 |
only thing I have been missing is a 64bit version of Macromedia |
| 10 |
Shockwave plugin. Apparently, there is no 64bit version for this |
| 11 |
proprietary software. |

Everything else is fine. I have all I need on my desktop. x86_64 |
| 14 |
version of Openoffice-bin (rc3) takes a long time to open, but is |
| 15 |
promising. |

Good luck, |
