Hardware experiences?

[E K]

Dapper Drake has a ia32-lib emulator and apt-get has the --force-architecture option to force a 32bit program to be installed. However, I must say, that I didn't install any of this programs. The only 32-bit application that I installed are those that are preconfigured; OpenOffice and so on.

I'm sure Ubuntu is good if you are sticking with pure 64Bit software
but can apt-get handle multi-arch libs yet?

If you need some 32bit apps like a flash plugin for your browser or
mplayer's 32bit codecs, Fedora is much more mature 64Bit system.
