I'm running both OpenOffice 2.0 and StarOffice 8 on Fedora Core 3 x86-64 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 2 x86-64 -- 0 issues. I've loaded the i586 version Java Software Development Kit (j2sdk) 1.50.006 from Sun's site and used the JPackage compat package for rebuilding the symlinks in alternatives. I'm also running a host of games and binary titles built for i386 on the FC3/x86-64 version without issues. The i386 version of SDL, DirectMedia and other components _are_ included in the stock x86-64, as does nVidia's installer for x86-64 offer an i386 GLX too. > There may be some functionality of OO in the x86 version that > is not in the x86-64, but I'm not an avid user of either, so I > can't state without question.

Again, I did _not_ install the x86-64 version of Java, but the i586 version. > As for the other stuff Johnny mentioned, he's correct in that > some of the whing-ding packages aren't there under the 86-64. > Again, there might be issues with building software as I > mentioned in first response, but most have been workable. I've build an x86-64 version of Checkinstall, so just about everything I've needed to rebuild from source, that's taken care of it. If anyone wants a copy, let me know, but I won't be able to send it do you until next week (I'm in Hawaii for Christmas). -- Bryan J.
