64-bit vs. 32-bit Slitaz5: comparing availability of taz-package Applications.

Two questions comparing 64-bit vs 32-bit Slitaz Applications packages:

Does 64-bit have more up-to-date versions ?

Is there a wider range of Applications packages available for 64bit or it it the same ?

Many thanks in advance for your reply.

All Slitaz-5 user-space applications/programs are 32-bit, none are compiled for 64-bit.

The linux64 64-bit kernel and it's split off linux64-<modules-type> kernel module packages are provided to take advantage of user hardware that has over 4 gigs of memory that the Slitaz 32-bit kernel can't utilize.
