I have been running 64 bit edubuntu for about 8 months, but decided to change to i386 to see if there would be any difference in speed. The result was that things actually work faster and more stable on i386. People had been telling me to forget 64 bit, as almost no applications take advantage of the 64 bit instruction set. I was constantly struggling with different setups and configurations, or having to run applications in a 32 bit chroot... After going through the experience, i would really recommend to forget about 64 bit for the time being as it brings no advantages, just headaches. I would even suggest that the devs take the 64 bit option out alltogether until things get better, but I guess one still needs to test that environment :-) I have 8 gigs of ram in my server and this works perfectly with the -server kernel...
