Apt also can't handle 32/64 bit libraries side by side (so I'm told). 
Yum's much better for that (so I'm told). If this is true, I'd urge you 
to use yum so that 64 bit systems that don't have native 64 bit 
libraries for your programs should work (from what I'm told)... or 
something like that.

Re: gui for FC3 - try yumex, I'm using it right now. Very nice!
