It's duff wording but I can see what it's trying to say. If you had 10 seconds to explain to someone the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit, and do they want/need it, it's not as easy as it sounds. Whilst 64-bit might be fine for many people there are some that would have issues with applications they want to run on top of it. For many it will work fine, but for most people there's little or no advantage to using 64-bit Linux over 32-bit. > A bug has been entered in launchpad > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+bug/585940 > There's quite a few bugs filed against the new website and the people behind it are working hard to fix all the issues.
