Hi, I am running 10.10 on 64bit machine, and it seems to run ok. I 
cannot upgrade to 11.04 though, backlight problem ? something else which 
doesnt seem to have been fixed. Funny thing though, this machine, is 
Acer Aspire laptop, that 11.04 wont work on, but I have a netbook Acer 
Aspire One, that 11.04 does work on and that is 32bit. /I cant work that 
one out. :(
