Flash format is not closed source, as someone told me in this very mailing list. But the only full featured flash player comes from Adobe (Adobe Flash Player) and Adobe Flash Player is proprietary software... so if Adobe had developed an open player it could even become a W3C standard for html animation (like SVG and SMIL).

To add to this, Windows games (and thus most Wine users) need the 32-bit OpenGL libraries to get 3D acceleration, and they are not available as a package for amd64 (yet). So yes, there are valid reasons to run 32-bit Linux even on 64-bit systems. For myself, I run i386 on my Pentium D because 64-bit support on the earlier Intel models was actually slower than 32-bit -- but with the amd64 kernel. This works fine except it used to break dkms (it tried to compile 32-bit modules, which the 64-bit kernel won't load).

While there is a 64 bit player, I've found that the 32bit one plays without any hiccups that the 64bit one seems to have (No need to have flash is evil debates here. Some of us wants to watch youtube and other flash sites). Mihira. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Ha! :-) There are no Thunderbird binaries for the released version packaged for 64 bits OSes and some people (e.g., me) do not like messing/bloating their systems with 32-bits compat libraries. And Thunderbird is the first package it came up to my mind without struggling my brain, there still has to be many others...

You should use amd64 :-) i386 is the 32-bit version -- you can use it, but it won't use all features of your system (e.g: no single program can use more than 4GB of ram (real ram and swap together)). i64 is the "original" Intel 64-bit version -- which is used only in Itanium and Itanium II - processors. This version will NOT work at all. amd64 is the 64-bit technique developped by AMD, which is now also used by Intel in all processors except Itanium. So, your i5 is an amd64-architecture :-) Axel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Actually I never understood why people would want to install i386 when amd64 is possible. Since from amd64 you can still run x86 code ... but not the other way around. Is there a drawback when installing an amd64 kernel ? Thx -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You can install i386. But if you want to take advantage of 64 bit, then you should install amd64 or x86_64.
