Sigh...wasn't this suggested thing to do...4 years ago.  I know I
complained about the lack of a 64-bit builds of LL releases 2 years
ago on my blog.

It's 2012, they had better have a 64 bit Linux installed.

What is LL's priority, then.  Linux users tend to be early
adopter/tech evangelists.  Wouldn't it be a good idea to make such
users happy by making SL easier and less annoying to install for
them.  I know if a 64-bit build showed up, I'd certainly be crowing
about it on the blog and praising the Lindens for doing so.
