Hi all, I'm new in this community. I helped a little bit to organize the PDCon 09 in São Paulo, and Iḿ getting more involved with Pd since.
This is just to say that I've installed 64bit Ubuntu two months ago, because I have a 64 Turion Acer notebook. Nothing worked properly, so I've changed to 32bit version and everything seems fine up to now. But the 64 version is very unstable, and for my personal experience I really do not recommend... best for all s.
