The problem is that Debian (and therfore Ubuntu) is still in the 20th
century when it comes to easily installing and running 32-bit software
beside 64-bit software.
Outiside of sticking with OS X (or Windows for that matter) your other
alterntiave is to go with the more advanced RPM-based distributions where
you can routinely install 32-bit packages on a 64-bit OS (examples of
such operating systems include Fedora, openSUSE and Mandriva).
*Someday* Debian (and therefore Ubuntu) will catch up....
