Actually I was able to use the full 4GB on my notebook with 32-Bit Ubuntu. IIRC on older versions (I believe 9.04 and lower) I had to use the server kernel, but on newer versions it just worked. Saying that I'm running the 64-Bit version at the moment although I am seriously considering going back to the 32-Bit version as some stuff I have has niggly problems (I can't for the life of me get the LogMeIn plugin working and I can't figure out the plugin wrapper).
