Other than non-free stuff like flash and openoffice, is there anything in the main section of i386 that isn't in the main section of AMD64?
A few minor things are missing, such as memtest86, partimage, and of course wine. Also note that most java-packages come without the plugin in 64bit.
In other words, what are people having to use a chroot i386 for?
Closed software such as acrobat reader, flash, skype, vmware, picasa, googleearth etc. Most can be installed without a change root, but that is a bit of a struggle. Since you have only 1 GB of RAM, you can go with i386 without any obvious penalty. With amd64 you can get a little bit more performance, but you are also more likely to run into problems, such as the ones mentioned here.
