[CentOS] CentOS 5 64-bits support (desktop environment)

Wed Apr 11 15:37:23 UTC 2007

Hello,

Does CentOS 5 use a better approach to 64-bits and 32-bits packages
existing on the same machine?

How is Upstream package selection comparing 32-bits and 64-bits editions?

Should we expect third-party repositories (mainly rpmforge) to better
support 64-bits packages?

I want to figure out if I should use CentOS/RHEL 5 x86_64 in desktop
environment.
