>From Planet CCRMA: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/software/installplanetsixteen.html "Your first choice is to whether install the 32 bit (i386) or 64 bit (x86_64) version of the base operating system. Up to Fedora 16 I recommend 32 bits if you want to use experimental music environments that are still not available for 64 bit versions of linux (that includes, as of this writing [2-12.05.30], ChuCK - all others, Pd, SuperCollider and the CM/CLM/CMN Lisp world should run fine on 64 bits OSs). "In Fedora 17 you can run a 32 bit binary of ChucK under a 64 bit install as Jack is now compiled with the proper compatibility flag, so in Fedora 17 and later it is better to go with a 64 bit install."
