32bit(i386) or 64bit(amd64) on an amd 64bit cpu (amd 6000+)?
lol i know the question sounds kinda stupid, i mean naturally amd 64bit cpu should go with amd64. but thats only naming as i see it, since ive read on various forums that the 64bit version (much like any other 64bit version operating systems) have many compatibility issues, like java, flash, etc etc.
so, what is your opinion? im an avid youtuber, so installing adobe flash is CRUCIAL, and so far, on amd64 debian i have been unsuccessful to say the least. im hoping the 32bit version might fare better. can i install the "flashplugin-nonfree" on the i386 version of debian?
thanks yall!
"aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree" automatically includes nspluginwrapper
For Java browser-plugins, you have to use Konqueror, instead of Mozilla based browsers.
In Debian, 64-bit development tends to run ahead of 32-bit. All things considered, 64-bit takes a slight lead, which will only increase. 64-bit is the future.
