A decade ago home computers used to run on 32-
bit software and possess 32-bit processors. But ever since 2004, Linux
distributions, Ubuntu, have been presenting 64-bit versions with the Warty Warthog release.
But, according to Canonical, 32-bit variant is
the most recommended or default option used even at present. Dmitrijs Ledkovs
of Canonical suggests that the messaging can be attuned to direct users by
default at the 64-bit image for download of pages initiating from 13.10 release
and hints will be provided concerning the use of 32-bit option instead. He also
accomplished that use of 64-bit image is well-suited for new installations and
is more beneficial for people to put in.
Hence, it can be concluded that 64-bit can be
preferred as an initial option for starting with 13.10 (Saucy Salamander)
and the 32-bit variant can only be recommended for an older PC with less than
2GB of RAM. At present, this occurs only on the vanilla Ubuntu page followed by
other flavors like Kubuntu and Xubuntu.

shutting down Windows 8 PC can be little bit frustrating for Windows users as
it is not following the method in previous versions. In Windows 8 if we need to
perform any power related operations, the standard practice is to invoke the
Charms menu on the right side of the screen. Or you can also use the key
combination of Windows key + C to summon the Charms menu or you can open it up
by pointing the mouse to either the upper or lower right corner of the screen
and it will be displayed as well. From there you can select “Settings” the “Power”
and select either Sleep, Restart or Shutdown to perform any power related
operations.
This is also seems to
be a distant as there is no concept of Start menu in Windows 8. For those who
feels indifferent to this way of power operations there is an easier option is
available to shutdown your Windows 8 PC and no need to going through any menus.
