Hey August!

> I've only been using different live-CD versions from time to time

I've known people that ran those as their default linux system(s).  Personally
I find them useful for a temporary boot to run maintenence and the such.  I
believe the first live cd was an early slackware, version 3.some
hing-or-other.  They also had a bootable zipdrive in just under 100M.  As far
as I am aware, slackware is still the best in this department.

> supported the 64bit command-set support on basically just 4GB ram max

For a modern 16 penguin system with all the development tools/libs etc. 32G
would be my minimum.

> but a 32bit OS might be more logical for that one.

I disagree.  If ram is the limitation then I would stick to the basics on that
one but for sure would expect it to be pure 64 bit.  I wouldn't have it any
other way.
