Support/Packages for Arch i686 vs Arch 64 [Solved]
Hey,
I was wondering if both versions of Arch are equally supported and if they had the same applications and so forth. Or is one version more use-able in a sense compared to the other one?
My laptop is a Core 2 Duo with 4GB ram.
Thanks

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Arch64 gets some packages first 
, in my experience at least, from updating my system in parallel with my 32-bit chroot. It mainly depends on the specific mirrors though. In terms of package density its 'almost' all there except for some prop. apps.
