3. If a program runs well in 32-bit OS, but fail to run in 64-bit one,
this is not an architecture problem. It's a bug. Please report it
instead of complain of 64-bit.
One example I found when playing with the Mini CD 64-bit install is
that NetworkManager Applet 0.8 doesn't work correctly in 64-bit. The
eth0 connection itself works, but the applet reports there are no
network connections at all. It also doesn't display it's icon in the
panel, although right-clicking on the space where it should be shows
it's actually there.
I'm guessing this is the sort of thing you're referring to, and which
should be reported as a bug?
Probably not, as this problem occurs with the 32 bit system as well. I had
this problem on one system which disappeared after an upgrade at some
point. However, the upgrade caused another system to start displaying the
problem.
As for the 32/64 bit argument, I think a compromise is needed. I propose a
48bit system:P
