Do you want stable (8.04) or something a bit more recent (8.10) ?

How much memory do you have? If you want to use anything more than 4GB
RAM then you'll need the 64 bit version. For a server I'd probably go
with 64 bit anyway, whereas for a desktop machine I'd probably go for
the 32 bit version since I've had problems with the 64 bit version and
it can have problems with certain apps like java and flash (being
fixed I know).
