Maurice, the reason given was memory, as mentioned by a couple of others. I
would have to check the thread again, but the thrust of it was:
With a 32-bit distro on a 64-bit computer, the only kernel that can handle
your RAM properly is the server kernel. You would actually be worse off with
the desktop kernel. I queried whether the server kernel would be slower, and
was told that it wasn't. I haven't tried to verify any of this.
So, if you want to stay with 32-bit (I went back to it) the server kernel is
your best choice.
Doug.
