Re: 32 or 64 bit?

Just curious, what are you using your 64-bit Linux Power Systems server for?

Currently I am running the 32 bit Ubuntu distro on my desktops
and laptop with the exception of my wife's laptop which is
running 64bit Ubuntu. I am looking to move to 64bit Ubuntu
because I want to go to 8GB of memory so I don't have to run
so close to "full" on my memory when running VirtualBox. I
have been runnging Virtualbox with roughtly 700MB of space,
but would like to give it 2GB for the times in RDi where it
uses a lot of memory.

Are others using 64bit Linux and having success running their
different applications? (i.e. I had issues initially running
RPGNextGen on my wife's laptop, though I don't remember if I
resolved that).
