I have just purchased a new Mac Mini and was wondering: which version of Ubuntu should I use, 32 bit or 64 bit? I currently run 32 bit on an old pc, but I believe that on the Mac I have the option of either.

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't matter.

Even though it can run 64-bit, I've had way more luck with 32-bit Ubuntu, and Linux in general on the latest generation Mac Mini.

the 64 bit version probably has enough driver support now to be a feasible option. Either one will probably be fine. II'd probably stick with Mac OS X if not dual boot though.




P.S. I'm currently thinking of switching to a Mac Mini by the way, so if you have any impressions about them i'd love to hear em.
