On my notebook (Turion64) I'm running 32bit SUSE 10.1. I had 64bit before, but there are, to my taste, just too many things that aren't right enough, and the applications I use a lot are all 32bit and run slower than in a 32bit linux (Adobe Reader, OOo, FireFox, etc).
I'll try the next version in 64bit and see how it goes.

Hi. It is possible to install either on the box I have. The 'too many things just not right' sends me in the 32 bit direction. It's mainly going to be apache, nfs and mysql server. It may have to double up as a user machine if there are a lot of users too. What would you go for then? Steve.
Lemme just be clear - the issues I had with 64bit was three versions ago, and just for desktop related stuff. On a server it's a no-brainer - 64bit unless you have to run some third party software that's giving you hassles.

Thanks Hans and thanks everyone who helped me make the decision. Am downloading 10.1 x86-64 from opensuse as I write. I shall report back on the experience. Steve.
