什么版本的Ubuntu最适合LAMP和Web开发服务器？ 为什么推荐使用ubuntu 32位？ [关闭]

Question

I'm just thinking about installing Ubuntu as my web development server featuring mostly LAMP environment, also RoR and Python, but all for web development. I'm thinking about running some version control server there as well, but that's all.

So I navigated to Ubuntu download page and got confused, as recommended version is 32 bit. My PC is running Intel i7 and was thinking that 64 bit will be better and faster for me.

Why 32 bit is recommended? Are there any reasonable explanations? What version is best for things I will work on?

BTW I'm not going to write code on this platform - this msut be only web development and version control server.

Answer 1

The recommended version is 32 bits because it works in both 32 and 64 bits (x86-compatible) platforms, and as there are many people that really don't know what their cpu is, what the heck is an i5 or celeron or ahtlon 3200+, it's easier for them to tell everyone (who doesn't know better) to download the 32 bits version.
