Re: [LUG] Mandriva2006 (64bit)

If a package doesn't start on 64bit, it should simply be removed from the 64bit archives until it's fixed, especially with a distro like Mandriva that, as Mandrake, built up a good reputation for being friendly to new users.

I suppose one available approach is to run those 32 bit packages in a virtual machine under vmware (or a libre alternative) running on the 64 bit base distribution.

Is there noticeable advantage to running a 64 bit distribution ratehr than 32?
