Hi all,
I am a little uncertain about this message in the Ubuntu page:
Click the big orange button to download the latest version of Ubuntu. You will need to create a CD or USB stick to install Ubuntu.
32-bit - Recommended for most users
64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage
I have a 64-bit computer with 8GB of memory. and am a little alarmed at the new message against "64-bit" which wasn't there when I originally downloaded the software and installed it. I have 10.04 64-bit Ubuntu installed.
There are many minor issues that I am not happy with but rather than complaining, I decided to wait until they all got fixed. But now it doesn't look as if they will be.
What should I do?
Would it help to leave Ubuntu (which I am reluctant to do) and find a distro that has solved the problems for desktops working with 64-bit?
Or will 32-bit work on my machine?
I know a 32-bit machine with more than 3GB of memory is now supported with Ubuntu's Lucid 32-bit, but can I run a 32-bit version on my 64-bit computer and still access the 8GB of RAM?
I purchased 64-bit because my supplier (Power Computing of Bedofrd) has stopped making 32-bit machines.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
