Does anyone know if there will be multilib integration or not, for the 64Bit Version?

At the moment Lunar is either 100% 32-bit, or 100% 64-bit, but be aware that some applications are not available in 64-bit.

You might be interested to read the article: Lunar Linux 32 Bit Chroot within native 64 Bit Environment

No, I am already so far with this, I knew the chroot artikel, I already knew the difficulties, I read somewhere that there is a effort to make a multilib Lunar, I only wanted to know if it is true...

I need a good Solution for older Applications and Games, by the time it is Virtualbox, but it supports not that much as I want...

I do not want a real 32 Bit OS on my 64 Bit Machine, ....

To be honest, right now I see no real reason to do multilib. I am running x86_64 and everything is working, bluetooth, java, flash, mplayer, vlc, etc. The only thing I've not got working is like you mention, VirtualBox. Though the kvm, qemu, kemu works on x86_64.

No, Virtualbox, also runs fine, but you have to the AMD64bit Version to use, that is not right in the moonbase, for so on, its wine, Zattoo, Google Earth and VMWare (3D-Acceleration) that make problems, but I am trying at the Moment the chroot Solution, its only half-Multilib cause you have to log in, you could add the mount inits in the Linux startup, I will see if I get Wine, Cedega or Crossover Games running, with Start script, so there is no real logging in in the chroot Subsystem, if this will work it is OK for me....
