It's not a question of whether it can handle different architectures at all (it certainly can) but whether it can properly handle the mix-n-match thing that x86_64 Fedora Core uses. I believe Debian has opted to avoid the problem entirely by sticking to pure 64bit apps on x86_64. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
