Greetings Truth (sp? :^),
Forgive my inability to spell.
Are you suggesting that HPE may be the next purveyor of a distro with
magic sauce?
Most insightful and fascinating...
Sincerely,
Flint

Finger up in the air. Wind's blowing thattaway. Yup, head there.

Told ya.
And I believe I said I can't blame them. (Multiple architectures is a
royal pain.)
Bummer none the less.
The reason I'm sad to see it is because I hate being boxed into any
corner. (Even self-painted corners, acknowledging that sometimes it's my
own fault.) So in this case, I hate being unable to run 32-bit because
of a packaging change in the distro. (But see my reply to Phil Kern
about static vs shared.)
Curious, Mark, if SLES15 will dispense with /lib64 and /usr/lib64. HPE's
internal Linux (Debian based) squishes out the bitness from the naming.
(But they might be doing other magic, as Phillip alluded to.) After all,
that company presently owns what remains of (DEC) VMS which got
multi-arch right ... thirty years ago.
[sigh] So many platforms; so little time.
