If you are running 64bits apps, then it's a better thing to have a 64bit os, but you can run into trouble with unsupported software and some software will only run in 32 bits. You should check with your admin.

recommend CentOS . . .also has 64 bit if that is importantComment

if your machine has a 64-bit cpu, get the 64 bit version of the OS. It doesn't change things much for many applications, but it's worthwhile for the few that benefit from the difference.Victoria Holyns : promote her siteHERE !Comment

64Bit OS primary advantage is being able to address more RAM natively.
x86 or i386 architecture can only address 3.2GB natively, afterwards it uses PAE ( physical address extension ) to map the rest
So if you are using 4+GB of RAM then go with 64Bit -- otherwise it wont make much of a difference as most server tasks like Apache/MySQL wont be heavily influenced by 32vs64bit.
As a standard rule we've switched to installing 64bit OS's whenever possible as its impossible to upgrade from 1 to the other without a format.
The only downside is its a bit tricky to get a few apps running in 64bit OS - the upside its honestly a simple process - get a 32bit machine, compile it there statically and copy it over
But when you have only 1 server - it can be complicated

As mentioned above, I'd stay away from Fedora. It's not what you want for a server.
If you're going to go Linux, I'd recommend CentOS. It's basically Red Hat Enterprise without the price tag.Comment
