Whichever distribution you choose, use the 64-bit edition of it if you can.
Go programs usually run faster on 64-bit, and garbage collection is more
reliable.

André Moraes: I think that with the new improvements on the GC this they are be reliable on both. But even if they are equivalent, the 64 bit version is faster and most server deployments this days use 64 bit processors. No need to stick with 32 bits unless you have a specific use-case. -- André Moraes http://amoraes.info --
Thstart: 64-bit - definitely. I would be interested to know whatLinux distro is Google using? --
Daniel Theophanes: I run network servers on both Linux and Windows (on Windows Server 2008 VM) and they both work fine. If you are on 1.0.3, I might suggest compiling from tip as there has been some Windows network improvements. More then anything, you shouldn't panic or die on errors, just log them. Does your entire http server stop accepting incoming connections? -Daniel --
