Currently it's impossible for ordinary users as well as corporate users to use the 64-bit version for their daily tasksn, mostly due to the problems when browsing (Flash & Java plugins). Installing your own version of Firefox is not a solution, as it means you lose security updates & integration of the gecko-engine in other applications. If it works for yourself, that's okay, but for new and/or inexperienced users or for companies that want to use supported software, the 64-bit version is not really appropriate. Of course, when you want to set up a server on an x86_64 system, or when you want to set up a workstation that needs a lot of memory (e.g. video editing), the 64-bit version is often the way to go. -- Jan Claeys -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:[email protected] You can find list info and your subscription configuration options at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
