How so? Given the choice I would always install linux amd64/x86_64 if at all possible (and it almost always is on any hardware purchased in the past 5 years or so), even if I wouldn't need the 64 bit part for the application. For those few servers that are not 64-bit capable, TSM 5.5, 6.1 and 6.2 are all still fully supported. Even for 5.5 there is not even an announcement of an EOS date...
I for one are happy that IBM finally after so may years provides a native 64 bit client for linux, relieving me of having to install a 32 bit runtime just for the backup client....
