As I have mentioned, my x86_64 install on my Lenovo is a bit of a

I am continuing to have problems. Most recently, Gnome keeps crashing
even without suspend attempts.
Soooo, I DO have a drive with f20 i386 installed, and I am seriously
thinking of falling back to it. "All" I have to do, is book from it,
sync my files (mail mostly) from the x86_64 drive, and apply updates.
But what do I loose running i386 on a 64 bit system? That is the
serious question here.
I have just been looking to install Fedora in order to run a particular
piece of software that my distro
dos not support at the moment. In spite of the fact that almost all the
download links listed show the
64-bit system, if you read the blurb thatshows up at the beginning of
the site, it says it recommends
the 32-bit version. Generally speaking, all the programs on the 64-bit
system are available on the 32-
bit system, and will probably run at about the same speed, or with
little enough difference that you
won't notice it. Conversely, there are some programs, including the one
that I want to test out, that
are only available for 32-bits.
