Why not use 64-bit Ubuntu?
11.04 is already available. But why 32bit is again recommended and what's "wrong" with x64 ?
P.S. I know about this question, but this is kinda different.
There are more 32-bit packages supported compared to the 64-bit set.
And, there is still a wider footprint of 32-bit platforms.
This is the reason we still see 32-bit being 'recommended'.
You might be interested in some history -- related to Ubuntu 10.04/10.10, Why not use 64-bit Ubuntu?
Refers to Launchpad bug 585940, from 26th May 2010 titled,Text reads "not recommended" for 64-bit
.
Guess, it is better to see a 'recommended' tag on 32-bit;
rather than a 'not recommended' tag on the 64-bit version :-)
Maybe that too will go away by the next LTS release...
