In reality - there's very little hardware newer than ten years old that's
economic to run - x86_6r4 has been around for long enough that 64 bit

Hi Richard,
Potentially zero difference - until the 32 bit browser just isn't there any
more / isn't patched. This is the sort of question that the debian-cd team
are also pondering: as the years go on, it is harder and harder to justify
32 bit software at least for the x86 architecture. There are

Short term - you'll gain nothing. Everything will work exactly the same, barring
