Hi there, happy new year from Spain (actually I am in Mexico with my girlfriend  )
So, I had run for over two years a 64bits installation and one month ago I did a clean installation and moved to a 32bits one. But I regret it and I want to come back  (stupid me).
I don't really now why I moved to 32bits yet!
Is it to messy to go back to 32bits? should I commit a new clean 64bit install again?
Merry Christmas!!!

I have seen some posts here saying that it is possible to change from 32 to 64 bit, but I think a re-install would be as fast (better, more failsafe :) ). If you have your /home partition separate you can mount it again after a reinstall, and if you save your edited config files in /etc getting everything up and running again shouldn't be too hard.
