Just to update - I took the plunge and installed Ubuntu studio 64, and

haven't had any major problems. The only issue was with the Brother

print driver, for which I had to install the i32 compat libraries.
I also found that UT2004 isn't really working properly any more, but I

am not sure whether that is a 32 vs 64bit issue, or because of

old/outdated libraries. I think I will probably end out just running

it under wine if I decide I really want to play it!
