Ubuntu 9.04 -- 64bit!
A couple of posts now, I have talked about Ubuntu's latest release, 9.04 -- the Jaunty Jackalope. As most of you know, I have installed this release when it was an Alpha and continued to update it after the actual release. I was using this for a while, but I saw a post on the Ubuntu forums about the 64bit version (I had been using the 32bit version). He stated that everything worked, apps, multimedia, etc. Now, my laptop is a 64bit laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo) and I've tried 64bit Ubuntu in the past (I tried the 8.04 Long Term Support (LTS) release). But, things just didn't work out. There was always something that I had to mess with that didn't work well. In fact, if memory serves, I had to mess with a lot of stuff just to get things to work (flash, java, etc.) Even some of the apps I installed from Add/Remove... from the Applications menu gave me an error stating that it was supported on the 64bit version. But that persons post got me...
