   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.
