I understand - people prefer 64bit images on 64bit machines.
My Windows build is 32bit and I get occasional questions about that.
On Mac I'm shipping only a 64bit image since Apple hasn't sold 32bit
machines in "forever"... there actually were only a handful (first gen
MacMini for example).
But on Linux 32bit machines seem to be more common - Intel was selling
32bit Atoms until just very recently...

Sure, that should be enough.
I have a few minutes and will try to set it up on 14.04 right now.
