I've been doing a little asking around about 32-bit vs 64-bit Linux desktop adoption, and got the following mail. Based on one reasonably current estimate, 64-bit adoption is running at about 24.6%.
I filed a feature request in JIRA as a place to gather up conversation on this topic: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-13793 If you have other sources of data, please post them there. Thanks!

To get numbers for Fedora, I went to the Smolt page and clicked "Host based statistics" <http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/static/stats/stats.html>. Arch Count % of total i686 177386 75.0 % x86_64 58125 24.6 % I think Smolt is opt-in at the end of the installation process. -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com
