It's horrible. flash there is 2 options the non-free 64B plugin, I had not success with that, with the nwrapper basically a 64 -> 32 thunker for the non-free flash program I haven't had any problems at all Java this is going to be your biggest problem, there is no Sun 64B java plugin, the nwrapper doesn't work for 32b java. There is gij and gcj and the new open java (can't remember its name), its from Redhat and has recently been certified by sun, that would be your best bet. Options for java, chroot you have ruled out (it worked seemlessly for me), install 32bit iceweasel (you can install all the 32bit apps on the 64b machine - you just need the right libraries). Another option install amd64, virtualbox and install 32b on virtualbox run the 64 b on vt and 32b on vt8 Alex Note I presume you mean java and not java script > > Is this move viable or should I rather invest in a second box (won't > come for free).
