Its of course possible; However you can run a 32-bit VM just fine on a 64-bit OS but not vice versa.
I think many windows users are still on 32-bit since windows updates preserve the bitwidth. And they generally don't know the difference, so its easier to just have one VM that works for everyone. Saves disk space + ram, too (unless you need more than 4gb for computations, at which point you aren't a casual user) On Friday, May 13, 2016 at 9:05:14 AM UTC+2, Dima Pasechnik wrote: > > Is there any reason (besides lack of manpower) that only 32-bin OVA is > provided? > IMHO 64-bit would be more popular and useful. > > (It seems to be hard, by the way, to find a working 64-bit Linux > VirtualBox image; yesterday I ended up installing > 64-bit Linux into a VirtualBox from an ISO Linux install image) > > Dima > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-release" group.
