We have several Red Hat servers that were set up by our Unix group when we started into the zLinux world. All these servers are running in 64 bit architecture. As I am getting to know they systems better, I did a search on the packages we have installed and found about 71 packages that have both a s390 (32 bit) and s390x (64 bit) versions installed. Is there any reason to have both architectures install for the same package? We just did a basic install of RHEL on one of our test systems, and when I searched that platform, we had no 32 bit packages (great!).
Has anyone had similar experience or have any recommendations. I am considering removing all the 32 bit packages from the system, but want to insure that it has no impact on the system. Is there any need for a 64 bit application to have access to it's 32 bit conterpart?
