Is there any reason why you can't offer 32 bit version of this?

32-bit removes the ability to scale above 9 or 10 nodes (due to the 32-bit memory mapping limit).

Just wondering, why do you need a 32-bit version of any Linux OS on vps.net?

Cool.

For smaller sites that will never need more than 6 nodes or so using 64 bit is not necessary. 64 bit = less performance / more resources on VPS machines using less than 10 nodea which in turn means a price hit for these users forced to use 64 bit unless you can tell me otherwise?

Surely it doesn't take much effort to offer the 32bit images as an option guys?
