I currently have 7.10 64-bit running on my home PC. From the point of installation to where I am now there have been little or no problems outside of browser plug-ins. That is until I wanted to start working with Eclipse. I don't blame Ubuntu for Sun and Macromedia's lack of support, but it's getting a bit silly. I don't even want to think about a system update when a new release is available. I can't even keep track of what is 64-bit and what is 32-bit anymore. If you want a complete system change over with your OS (like from Windows 2000 to GNU/Linux as a web designer with no budget for a Apple Macintosh) I would say stick with 32-bit. My situation does not bring a completely wasted processor. Originaly it came with a 32-bit AMD Sempron but I swapped it out for a 64X2. I still get to keep the dual-core feature out of the $40 I spent to upgrade the processor. Not a bad deal! Stick with 32-bit for a desktop until there is full support. But go ahead with a 64-bit for a server. That is where 64-bit shines: script and code execution. I'm hoping one day that this system will serve well for remote web, ssh , email and ftp.
