Have you tried a 64 bit install on a netbook?
64 bit does not work on my Dell Mini 10 (dual-core Atom). This machine
is a few years old, of course. I don't consider this a blocker for
moving to 64 bit by default, and just add a label like "for computers
that are older than 5 years, you rather grab<this image>".
Can the iso itself detect when it's booted on an i386 system and say
"Hey, you've got the modern Ubuntu disc; what you needed was the
slightly older ("32-bit") disc, which you can get from www.ubuntu.com"
in some sort of nice way? Obviously it's irritating to have downloaded
(or got from someone) a whole disc that doesn't work, but making it
point you in the right direction to fix the problem would be nice.
