It's not as if the Linux apps are all 32-bit. Due to the Alpha, Opteron, and Itanium, the code should all be clean. You'll be running a mix if you go this route, keeping both libraries in memory. Yuck. Some apps need to be 64-bit. For example, procps must be compiled as a 64-bit executable if you want to support a 64-bit kernel. > I hope you'll agree this is a worthwhile endeavor and with your > support, debian support for PowerPC64 processors can be enjoyed by all. > (Or at least those with or soon to have hardware ;-) Eh, does Linux even run on Apple's new box?
