[mdlug] [opensuse] 64 bit vrs 32 bit advantages speed etc. - not supp orted flash

[gib at juno.com]

Peter, I had a problem just today trying to install Adobe flash player on my 64 bit.  Guess I need to find another install options. The install says:

ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the
       Adobe Flash Player installer.

Okay then, I need to ask a stupid question. I finally received the new
laptop and it has a 64 bit processor.

Since it has that capability I was going to load the 64 bit version of
opensuse, if for nothing more than to know that it's there. Will this be
a hindrance to me, running openoffice, web browsers, VMWare? How about
running a 32 bit copy of Vista in a 62 bit opensuse? Or will I simply
not notice it? I'm not sure what you mean by the "dance on a host"
statement.

Best Regards,
