[ale] 64-bit vs 32-bit?

[Jim Kinney]

There's no 64 bit benefit except for scientific number crunching and systems
with greater than 4 GB ram.
Firefox works fine. It's stupid flash that's a bear. There's a 64 bit
version but you have to dig for it.
Official Java is not 64 bit for Linux but GnuJava is and seems to suit all
of my needs.
