it seems that almost everybody I've talked to has advised me not to go
with the 64 bit version of OpenSuse because there really is no speed
advantage (if that's not good advice I'd like to hear otherwise). So
then, if there is no speed advantage, what's the point in even having a
64 bit processor right now?
Looks like in all the descriptions no-onen clarified that openSUSE, of
_all_ the Linux distributions out there, is pretty much the best for
64bit support. Unlike Debian and Ubuntu, it's BiArch compatible, so
you can still get your favourite 32bit applications on it (and of
course hence you can have flash etc on your 64bit install).
In summary, you will get a performance improvement with some
applications with a 64bit install, and you shouldn't really lose out
in any way (on openSUSE).
