Is there any advantage in using a 64 bit distro for audio? Do the

I'm expecting a new computer to be delivered today and am trying

decide what to install...
What difficulties? I run both 32- and 64-bit Linuxes, and have no
difficulties with either one.
I have a Canon printer that runs on my 32 bit desktop
Ive not yet got it running on my new 64 bit laptop
[Note: Canon supplies 32 and 64 bit rpms but only 32 bit debs]
Just to update - I took the plunge and installed Ubuntu studio 64, and
haven't had any major problems. The only issue was with the Brother
print driver, for which I had to install the i32 compat libraries.
I also found that UT2004 isn't really working properly any more, but I
am not sure whether that is a 32 vs 64bit issue, or because of
old/outdated libraries. I think I will probably end out just running
it under wine if I decide I really want to play it!
