Comment 23 for bug 1022232

Good point... sure, some projects might not have all (or any) of its applications available in x64 for linux. And I just found out after a little research that, surprisingly, this is very common in Windows, where SETI@Home and Einstein@Home for example, lacks 64-bit support for most of their apps.

But if one doesn't bother to crunch only for projects (and apps) that offer x64 linux, then I guess there is no harm in installing boinc with --no-install-recommends, correct?

And of course, if one wants to crunch 32-bit, they gotta have 32-bit libs. Fair enough.
