Gentoo Linux releases 12.1 LiveDVD
Gentoo Linux has announced the
release of the Gentoo 12.1 LiveDVD. "The LiveDVD is available in two flavors: a hybrid x86/x86_64 version, and an x86_64 multi lib version. The livedvd-x86-amd64-32ul-12.1 version will work on 32-bit x86 or 64-bit x86_64. If your CPU architecture is x86, then boot with the default gentoo kernel. If your arch is amd64, boot with the gentoo64 kernel. This means you can boot a 64-bit kernel and install a customized 64-bit user land while using the provided 32-bit user land. The livedvd-amd64-multilib-12.1 version is for x86_64 only."

Is the multi lib that is being discussed here the same thing as the Debian multiarch lib handling? or is it just the /lib /lib32 approach?

Debian does multiarch. Everyone else does multilib (and has for a long time).

Debian has done multilib for a long time too, they are just transitioning to something better.
