The biggest issue with 64 bit Linux is the lack of Flash. The Gnash Flash player does a reasonable job of basic flash menus, etc on pages, but cannot play Flash videos like on You Tube. It is beyond me why Adobe is not working on a version of Flash player that works on 64 bit. (I believe even Windows 64 bit has difficulties with Flash and other device drivers, etc).
