Yes. Nothing special about it.

Yes but why would you? 64 bit is faster though it does use a bit more RAM.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

there is some driver that my company use only support 32bit OS and yes it is pretty slow.

"driver"? What do you mean by this?
You can run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit system, assuming that you have the necessary libraries installed.

So re-compile it. You have the source don't you?llwb wrote:there is this .ko file that wont work if I use a 64bit system .
If you don't have the source, that sounds like a possible violation of the GPL to me.
Re: centOS 6.9 32bit on a 64bit system
I tried but the .ko code depends on some 32bit .o files which I don't have the code ...
