64bit Linux

[Joe Burgess]

I am running 64bit Kubuntu 7.10 and so far it works fine.  Flash works 
beautifully, and I have yet to have any problems.  I haven't attempted 
to install a 32 bit program, but I know it isn't too hard to do.  The 
nice thing is that almost everything is compiled for 64bit.  Also as for 
performance gains, there really isn't much unless you are doing very 
high end engineering programs and stuff.  I do it because I have 4gb of 
ram, and 64bit is what I need to be able to see all of it.  So far it 
works very, very well.
