scarecrow 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2009 For the record, the latest version of Sun java has (at last) a browser plugin and a java webstart applet... And from what I've been told the latest flash beta works natively on 64-bit without serious issues. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ianw1974 11 Report post Posted March 9, 2009 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) Edited March 9, 2009 by tux99 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bingus 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2009 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
