I am buying my brother a new computer and the best price/performance appears to be a 64bit dual core machine (I am envious for myself now). I understand that I can run the 32bit Kubuntu on this machine - does that cause any serious issues? I have used Kubuntu for a few years now and Linux for several more, but never 64bit. Is it a stable system and do all the normal packages (GIMP, OpenOffice, KDE, KOffice, KTorrent, and such) run cleanly on it?
I guess the basic question is: is a dual core 64bit a good choice and should I use the 32 or 64bit version of Kubuntu on it?
TIA
