Actually, I'm gonna build a new computer out of older parts and decided to load up a linux distro on it.
Ubuntu seems very popular but I was wondering... why is 32bit recommended for the desktop version? 64bit is recommended for the server.
I want a full OS. I want to install gcc and whatever else I need to compile stuff and practice programming. but when I'm not messing with it, I may as well use it as some sort of media server so I also want to install XBMC on it.
So my second question is, do I want to download the desktop version (does it come with more stuff) since xbmc should install everything it needs, or should I install the server version?
If the desktop version is the way to go, is the 64bit version alright or shall I go with the recommended 32bit?
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
