I share your opinion. I got flash to work, but Acroread remains elusive, 
and I absolutely need it for my work. So I'm going to wipe out Feisty 64 
and replace it with Feisty 32.

Google around, and you'll see there's not much difference in terms of 
performance apparently.

Of course, you do get this extra kick with 64bit .... but you don't have 
to tell anyone what is really under the bonnet :-)
