Hi, usually I install the 64 bits version of, but the last time, I<br>
dont remember why : ) (maybe to avoid any problems) I installed the 32<br>
bits version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Is a repo of pd-extended for 10.04<br>
available?<br>
And about the 32 vs 64 bits, what are your choices?  And what about<br>
distros? Pure:dyne seems more lightweight with his xfce desktop,<br>
however I have a good processor (core 2 duo intel e7200) and 2gb of<br>
ram, planning an update to 6gb, so I dont know if xfce is a must for<br>
me.<br>
Im a &quot;veteran&quot; gnu/linux user, but the last years I was using OS X and<br>
W7 for music making. In Linux I want to use pd, Renoise (its available<br>
as 64 bits too), and wine for some vsts.<br>
