64-bit system and 32-bit software

[Rich]

Any way I can get 32-bit to work on 64-bit system? Are there any Kernel's being developed to allow this type of software interaction?

32 bit gutsy will install on 64 bit system no problem.

Not sure why you would want to. I run 64bit gutsy and don't miss 32 bit stuff.

I've got some proprietary 32-bit software written for Linux. Bibblepro and Autopanopro that I use extensively for photography.

Back to my original question. .. . Is there a way to run 32-big apps on a 64-bit system? Is a kernel being developed ?

I haven't heard of any way to run 32 bit apps on 64 bit system without some kind of wrapper i.e. 32 bit flash. You might try installing from source? ./configure, make make install. At least these steps will let you know what problems come up. Other wise I would install 32 bit kubuntu.
