64 bit version #2

Hi, Can we have 64-bit version on it?

deviantintegral commented 10 years ago

It's possible to make, but I'm curious what for? Are you actually running sites where you could use more than 4GB of RAM? I originally went with the 32-bit distro so memory requirements would be a little lighter, and even on my largest sites I rarely need more than 2GB of memory.

Something to keep in mind is that if memory is being used in the VM for filesystem caching, that you're really double-caching the on-disk VMDK. It's best to minimize the internal filesystem cache and let your host OS do it.

64-bit packages are more stable and robust and gives better performance as compared to 32-bit version in same set, that why I prefer 64-bit version.

I ran into a scenario where I had to use some 64-bit only packages, so as of 4037ba718ca0e2840ec1b31a99782e34b261382a we now support 64-bit boxes.
