[...] The problem is that Debian (and therfore Ubuntu) is still in the 20th century when it comes to easily installing and running 32-bit software beside 64-bit software. Outiside of sticking with OS X (or Windows for that matter) your other alterntiave is to go with the more advanced RPM-based distributions where you can routinely install 32-bit packages on a 64-bit OS (examples of such operating systems include Fedora, openSUSE and Mandriva). *Someday* Debian (and therefore Ubuntu) will catch up.... -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
