Simple question about the x86_64 arch
Posted: 2011/04/18 13:29:08
I'm deploying some 64bit CentOS boxes for the first time. I'm just curious about how the packages work for this architecture.
Why are there 2 packages installed? (FLAC in this example, just picked something random)
Why is the x86_64 package not sufficient?
Package flac-1.1.2-28.el5_0.1.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Package flac-1.1.2-28.el5_0.1.i386 already installed and latest version
