Re: Multiarch LFS

I run both CentOS and Fedora but at this point I don't run any 32-bit 
apps because they are no longer needed.

The former reason use to be to run 32-bit browser for 32 bit plugins but 
flash is now available 64 bit and Java - I believe there is a 64-bit 
Java plugin from Oracle but there are so many bad security issues with 
Oracle Java I no longer allow it on my system.

Anyway, even though I can run 32-bit apps on Fedora / CentOS there is no 
need to, not for me anyway.

Maybe some commercial 3rd party apps are 32-bit only. I suspect that is 
getting to be rare.
