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.
