Just for a bit more feedback... I was just considering switching back to Ubuntu from OpenSUSE because of Ubuntu's vastly more abundant software repositories... But then I see this "64-bit - Not recommended for daily desktop usage" and my immediate thoughts are: What's wrong with Ubuntu? Is there a problem with it? Maybe I shouldn't use it after all. After all, I've been using OpenSUSE 64-bit, both 11.2 and now 11.3, and while I have had some annoyances with getting one or two programs work (ie Skype and anything related to Adobe), the 64-bit version seems to run dramatically better and faster on my 2-3 year old 4 GB ram Intel HP laptop. My next thoughts are: Why, pray tell, is it not recommended? And I can't find a word of explanation anywhere on the page. I agree with previous posters--this just makes Ubuntu look bad, and to do it without any explanation just seems reckless.
