However I still can't imagine who may need this linux32 tool. Maybe I will find out it later. It's my first day on amd64 OS. So please forgive me stupid questions :-P

Maybe it is a good idea to put this link in linxu32 package documentation :-P Linux32 was the only application i found by: apt-cache search amd64. Of course I wasn't trying to run gedit here. I have some other closed-source application which is available for x86 linux only. Gedit was just an example. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
