32 or 64 bit advice

Thanks for all the details, Wirezfree.  I've had similar experiences with my Gateway LT40 notebook with distributions other than LL when distro browsing.  If I make another trip to the pawn shop, I'm going to look for something smallish (like 13 inches), but with an Ethernet connection like the LT40, although I suppose the USB wifi sticks aren't that expensive.
