Re: Linux Version for PC

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The only issue I have run into with different versions of Linux is the 
32bit vs. 64bit versions.  Since you have standardized on one 
distribution partner I don't anticipate any problems save that of the 32 
vs 64 bit issues.

I personally always go with the latest, greatest I can get, mostly for 
security patches and improvements.
