Ubuntu continued

Well... like I said in my previous post, I moved to Ubuntu. I then promptly screwed my system up, and then I started over and got things working. Well the next step was to load all the standard apps that I use (basically Java stuff). I was easily able to load java, but I was never able to get Eclipse running.... well after many a tries and many a googling, I said screw it.... I remembered having a similar problem with the 64bit version of Eclipse and java on my Centos setup and that I had ended up installing the 32bit version. Of course I first spent many an hours trying to do this same thing, but in the long run, I gave up... now I'm running the 32-bit version of Ubuntu on my AMD 64bit processor... I know it is kind of a waste, but for now I will have to settle. Hopefully now that both the Intel Core 2 Duo and the AMD chips are all now 64bit the OSs will shortly follow... at that point, I'll give the 64bit version of Ubuntu another try. But for now I'm happy, my system works and the move to Ubuntu seems to be worth it overall.
