No, he can't, because it's my server, and I won't do any reinstall in the near 
future.
Initially, I wasn't even aware that the server has a 64 bit CPU (and even if I 
were, back then I didn' t have enough trust in the 64bit OS releases), so it 
was set up with kubuntu 32bit.
And even now I would set it up with 32bit again, since I don't want to build 
all my custom packages twice (I'm managing more computers than just that 
server). Also, given my experience with creepy bugs in Korganizer, caused by 
64bit versions of libraries and other incompatibilities, I still don't trust 
64bit OSes enough to install it on a production server.

I think that's a pretty usual setup (most people I know have a 32bit version 
of Linux installed on their laptop even though their CPU is actually a 64bit).

Cheers,
Reinhold
