In order to not clutter the other thread, my question to David Henry and everyone else, is why not try a 64-bit distro as your first Linux experience?
I used 64-bit RedHat ES3 on an Intel Itanium a few years ago where there was no 32-bit backward compatibility. Other than compiling a few programs on a 64-bit compiler, I saw no differences between the 64-bit and any 32-bit distro I'd used to date. I use 64-bit Ubuntu at home and had no problems installing CF, et. al. on it either. What problems would you expect a new linux user to run into dealing with 64-bit vs. 32-bit?
