BS. The Sun JVM 1.5 exists in the AMD64 flavour. You just have to use java-package to create a deb for your distro, if you need it so badly. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show sun-j2re1.5 Package: sun-j2re1.5 [cut] Architecture: amd64 Version: 1.5.0+update06 Replaces: sun-j2re1.5debian [cut] This package has been automatically created with java-package (0.27). > Next is flash - you can sort of workaround it by using switftfox (comes > with bugs)(not a Debian package) As others have said, it's a plus. I have used a ppc machine as my desktop for years, and look at me, I am still alive. In any case, you can use 32bit binaries if you really need them. > But the biggest problem for me is that there isn't a AMD64 nvu package. I'd have understood if you said Dreamweaver, but AFAIK what nvu does (did?) is achievable with any text editor. Etch will be a very good desktop system, since what you're listing are common AMD64 characteristics. It's not like Debian is excluding packages. -- Best Regards, Jack Linux User #264449 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux on AMD64 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
