i have been running 64bit linux (admittedly debian not ubuntu) for 5
years now, never had any issues - although i have also run linux on
sparc and powerpc... so what i consider issues and what others consider
issues may vary :)
x86_64 is as stable as any other port of linux, most companies are now
deploying it as standard (in the large company i work for, you have to
justify why you cant run on x86_64 with multi-arch. yes you can run
32bit programs perfectly in a 64bit install)
running 32bit OS on 64bit hardware is a little bit like recording bluray
audio on to an audio cassette ;)
