Yes, but only for flash support, due to the isolation of flash in a

Overall I can't really say. Try both I guess. I've found other
issues like nvidia vs. ati graphics to be much more of an issue than
32 vs 64 bit.

Actually I've found 64 bit Ubuntu 8.10 with
32 bit Flash 10 plugin via
nspluginwrapper to be the best Linux Flash setup. If Flash crashes,
rather than taking out the whole browser as a native plugin (32 or 64
bit) would, only the crashing instance dies. With this setup on 8.04,
all Flash applets would die if one crashed.
Do you really feel that the Flash/nspluginwrapper setup you
describe above, which is pretty much equivalent to what I'm running on
Gentoo, is *better* than the same version of Flash running on a 32-bit
platform with the same browser/kernel/desktop?
