Dear Bryan, Thanks for the reply. I was not aware that this has been discussed on this list before.
I admit that 64-bit systems are better than 32-bit systems. But practically speaking this is not the case. Lack of graphical drivers that are fully functional is a critical issue for an end-user. Maybe 64-bit systems are incomplete on their software side, but for an end-user that's just a 64-bit pc. When you say 64-bit is the future, I presume you say so because we are hitting the 4 GB limit. Otherwise 64-bit systems are lacking and thereby lagging behind 32-bit systems as far as usage goes. By the way, as I mentioned earlier I hit a roadblock trying to install the x-86 version of jaunty on an amd 64 compaq laptop. I went ahead and re-installed an amd-64 version of ubuntu jaunty and everything worked out of the box.
