Am I 32-bit, or 64-bit?

[Tom Buskey]

I've been 64bit forawhile.  What does 32bit do that 64 won't?  Besides
browser plugins, though that's gotten beter too.

I installed 11.10 and then installed lxde and lubuntu over it so I didn't
have to learn Unity.  There is also xubuntu.

In my case I was debian 6.0x on the server and wanted a newer kernel with
btrfs and zfs on linux (via ppa)

I like being able to switch the ui part or anything else with debian based
dists.  I've found it was easier then with rpm based dist so I've switched.
