So, I am currently wrestling with my local IT support at work, trying to decide if I need x32 or x64 bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) in my new development environment.
I am curious: What are the pros/cons of each system architecture? I will be using primarily Eclipse to do my coding, with several command line utilities to assist. (Git, ANT, etc.) I will also be using numerous plugins, such as EGit, Window Builder Pro, and others.
The IT guy is worried that if i ask for x64 now, in a week I'll be calling him back asking for x32 because some piece of software I need isn't supported.
Thoughts?
