When you upgrade from 32 to 64 it's better do with a clean and brand new installation, I think. Leap is so much bigger than from one 32-bit version to other. > Also do you have to self-compile programs that only have a 32bit builds or do > they also run under 64bit > linux (kinda avoided compiling from source so far but it's about time I > learnt anyway)? Problem is not open source programs, you can easy teach yourself to compile - if you have to. Problem is closed formats (Flash, Shockwave, wmv, realmedia...) and 32-bit Firefox with all it's plugins. It is possible to make room for 32-bit FF inside of 64-bit Ubuntu. Something like this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202537 ---- IMHO - go for 64-bit Ubuntu Studio and don't look back for 32-bit world. I bet you can live with that. Do not mess with mixed worlds. If you find that world unfamiliar, then go back to the 32-bit world - but choose only one at time - it is much easier.
