Does 64Bit Linux have all 64Bit Packages
As there are 64Bit Linux Distros available
I wanted to ask if the Linux is 64Bit all the packages on it are 64Bit.
Can you tell me a link where a list of 64Bit Packages is listed.

Every package (that I've checked) in my 64 bit Ubuntu is "ELF 64-bit LSB executable".

There's no 64-bit Wine. (But anyway it wouldn't run normal win32 executables if it was 64bit!)
