Do I have to use 64 bit?
Asked by
Mike Rose
I'm still unclear on this after reading the docs. I want to build (my first) ubuntu box. I am planning on buying a bare bones kit and it has a 64-bit processor. Do I have to use the 64 bit OS (with 3 GB of memory or less) or can I run the 32 bit? The download page seems to discourage the use of the 64-bit version for daily use. Can the 32-bit OS run on a 64 bit processor? Will I run into applications that won't run on the 64-bit OS?
