Hello,
I buyed a new pc with an amd athlon cpu dual core and I would
like to know opinions about choose to install the classic x86
version or the experimental 64 bits version of Ubuntu. Moreover, which
version should I prefer (I am talking numerically here, 6.06 or 7.10)
I never run ubuntu before, could I found many bugs with latest
version?
Thanks,
tano

I recommend that you install the 64 bit version of Ubuntu. 64 bit is well past the experimental stage. You should use Ubuntu 7.0. Open source releases contain a mixture of fixed bugs and new features that are still buggy. Ubuntu 7.10 will be no buggier than 6.06. Ubuntu 7.10 will just have different bugs than 6.06.
