<pre wrap="">The latest one. Fedora Core 6 that is. If you mean the architecture,
then unless you have over 4GB of RAM on your system and going to run some
process that will take more then 2GB of RAM by itself, you should get
i386 version.

What?
I think you mean 4Gb of HD space and not RAM. Hell, my main box here is
an x86_64 beast of a machine and that only has 1.5Gb of RAM</pre>

What I mean is that according to this list and other resources, x86_64
has a few more problems then i386 due to (mostly) closed source 32-bit
only programs and drivers and (in some cases) programs assuming 32-bit
where now there is 64. And the primary advantage of running native
64-bit is that a process can address much more memory. So unless you
need that extra memory addressing you might want to run 32-bit. Tell
me, why are you running 64-bit?<br>
