I am about to order a server which will be used as a file server for a mixed windows/linux lan of about 8 stations and as an ltsp server for a couple of client terminals running on older pc's with plans to end up with a half dozen client terminals. I was about to order a unit from dell for the server when I ran across a comment somewhere that 64 bit is the preferred architecture for the server. I have stayed away from 64 bit pc's for linux until now. I expect that my small lan would not overload either as far as processing capability is concerned, but I am wondering, should I use 64 bit? Is there any difficulty using a 64 bit server with 32 bit clients? I plan to use ubuntu. The terminals will be used for word processing, email, web browsing and not much else.
