Usually you'll come quite quickly on a need for the 32bit libraries, be it for (I'm not sure I'm correct or updated with all my examples) Flash plug-in for your browser (or other browser issues, like firebug extension, although I think in FF3 this is solved), Sun Java JRE and some other propriety or closed source applications/libraries (perhaps skype client as well, for sound device usage, not sure).

In any case, I don't think there's any harm from installing those libraries so I guess that either way is safe and ok to go.

Hi All,
I've got a new duo-core laptop and installed the Ubuntu 64-bit compilation for the first time. Anything you can recommend? ALL 32-bit application can work on 64-bit? any exceptions? even GTK?
Should I install any 32-bit libraries?

Thanks for your help,
Eran
