Re: Install on 32 or 64 bit Linux?

Are there any indications whether 32 or 64 bit Linux would be preferable?

If you have 64bit hardware, use a 64bit OS. Running IA32 on EM64T/AMD64 is pointless and requires you to use crappy hacks such as PAE.

For virtual machines, consider if OS level virtualisation is not more what you want. OpenVZ is a good example.
