I'm running SuSE 9.2 on my dual Opteron and haven't had too many sw problems. I would encourage anybody doing this to run a 32-bit version of their browser so that the 32-bit plugins will work (there are few 64-bit plugins available).
yeah, flash works great in the 32bit browsers using macromedia plugin
I'm running xine and it plays files fine. Is there a particular format that works in 32-bit mode but not 64-bit mode?
quicktime format comes to mind ... but ive never tried running a 32bit mplayer/xine, just native versions ...
Suse separates libraries into /lib, /lib64, /usr/lib, /usr/lib64. Very few if any (in my experience - ymmv) source tarballs understand /usr/local/lib{64}.
Gentoo has /lib<ABI> while /lib is the 'native' path ... so on a multilib amd64 setup, /lib and /lib64 are the same dir while /lib32 is a different one -mike
