Pure 64 here, I have not found a reason to bother with multilib.

Slackware 13 32bit on 1 server
Slackware 13 64bit on 1 desktop
I may have to go multilib to get all the bits and pieces running on the desktop box though.

I'm running Slackware64 13.0 (pure 64 bit OS) here. I may install the multilib if needed, but for the time being, I'm very satisfied with it.

The only problem I have encountered so far is the audio playback in KDE4 other than the KDE system sounds. It happens when I restart X (logoff KDE and then startx again). However, I'm not a big fan of KDE and I find xfce suits me better. So it's not a big deal to me.

Well, I finally have Slackware64 installed along with ALien BOB's "True Multilib" files and it is quite impressive!

KDE "looked" good at first, but the more I use it, the less I like it. Other than a couple of improvements in Gwenview, I can't see much difference between 4.2.4, and the last version I used, 4.2.1. Certainly, KDE 4. is NOT stable. It crashed twice in the first 6 hours and the computer was sitting idle most of that time. KDE 4.x is still missing some of the functions and configerability of 3.5.10, but from reading the message base over at the KDE forum it would appear much of that has returned in 4.3.x.

Took a quick look at Xfce 4.6.1 and it is reminiscent of KDE 3.5.x, IMHO. I would venture to say that if you liked KDE 3.5.x, you might find Xfce 4.6.1 to be a suitable replacement.

KDE aside, Two Thumbs Up for Slackware64.

I will always be running 32 bit until I upgrade my 3gb ram to >=4gb , which I don't see the point of doing in the near future.

13/64 on the new laptop. I may move the kids' desktop machine to 13(from 12.2) one of these days.
