"... Is there any harm in installing the 64bit version (ubuntu)? ..." Are you upgrading or re-installing from another OS or is this a new system? Each of those have slight problems (bloat when upgrading, backup your data before you install). Aside from that the only problems I've had are existing commercial software like flash (32 bit probably never to be 64).

  "... Anyone know if flash 64bit works yet? ..." No 64bit but try http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FlashPlayer9 http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FlashPlayer9 (Adobe Flash Player Non-free plugin installer) and more FOSS alternatives System->Administration->Synaptic & search for 'Flash'. "... Was running Hardy 32bit ..." You can keep your home partition or data if you want.
