Hello,
Presently I am considering using CentOS as my base OS. I am wondering about a few things though. I like KVirc as my irc program. I have had issue with compiling it in 64bit mode under Fedora 3 and was todl it was because Fedora installs both 32 and 64 bit libs and the compiler didn't understnad which to use. Will this be an issue with CentOS 4 also?
If I install the 64 bit version how much trouble am I going to have when runnig 32 bit programs?
Keep in mind, you're going to run into other issues like this with firefox, flash and other applications. Some people solve it by running 32bit libs/apps along with 64bit, and others solve it by installing the 32bit distro on x86_64 hardware.
