Re: 32 or 64 bit?

We installed the VoIP solution on one partition on a 520. The only issue we
had was the amount of memory needed for the application. I had previously
installed other Linux partitions for customers who were installing
firewalls, print servers and other appliance applications. The most
difficult part was the certification process for my IBM Linux cert.

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).
