Going from 32 to 64 bits: What to expect & know

I have Ubuntu 8.10 x86_64 installed, and I generally only have problems with java, even though I have the 64 bit version in, I still sometimes have the odd problem of something not working how I expect it. However, for that there's always VMware and Windows as a virtual machine if I'm really desperate to use that particular functionality.

 

Otherwise, no other problems.

I have those kind of problems with 32bit Java too, I guess it's more a Java thing... B)

I've been using Mandy 2009.1 x64 in cooker. Haven't noticed any compatibility issues or anything weird... Flash, Java etc are all happy.

 

It is quicker, but thats probably due more to the kernel and Mandrivas changes rather than the 64 bit-ness.
