They just "work". For example, in Fedora... if you install a 32-bit RPM via YUM (see APT in Debuntu) as you would with a 64-bit RPM, YUM will pull all the edependancies in and install them as well. Debian's ia32libs doesn't install ALL needed 32-bit libs for a number of packages if installed in the past. My best suggetion to you would be to spend some time with the competition and see for yourself. :) P.S. PLEASE don't post in HTML to the lists. Thanks.
