32 bit or 64 bit Debian

[Clay Croom]

I recently purchased a used Fit-pc4 which has a 64bit capable processor.  Should I use 32 bit or 64 bit Debian since the computer will only be ran in headless mode and used exclusively for weewx?  Just looking for thoughts from the group?  I'm moving from an old Dell Mini 9 that has started to give some signs of trouble.  Clay

I have a very old Fit-PC that is incapable of running 64-bit software, so I use the 32-bit version of Debian on it. It works fine. 

While either will work, if you have a choice, you should go with 64-bit. Very little 32-bit software is being maintained these days.
