RE: Going back to 32 bit from 64 bit



 I'm quite happy with 64 bit fedora.   

What firefox plugins are giving you the blues?  I don't use any non-free 
plugins at the moment but have previously. 

Can't you just dump that data from your db and load it again in the 64 
bit postgre? 

Wine sucks balls anyway, or at least it did last time I tried it.

Subject: Going back to 32 bit from 64 bit 

Sadly, I moved back to 32 bit kubuntu. 

On 64 bit systems everything works fine as long as it is 64 bit or 
self-contained 32 bit, but not all firefox plugins are 64 bit as of yet, 
so you have to run the 32 bit version, but that doesn't work because 
things like sound are implemented at the 64 bit level and the shared 
libraries don't load. 

PostgreSQL compiled on a 64 bit machine will not read a database built 
using a 32 bit build. 

Wine does not seem to work at all. 

Oh well, maybe next year.
