[MapProxy] What is the best Unix platform for MapProxy production deployment?

[Jason Lee]

Thanks for the useful input and advice. After some searching it seems 64-bit
PIL can be troublesome to set up so it seems  sensible to go with 32-bit
system for now (also, 64-bit does not necessarily mean faster) and maybe
trial/test 64-bit against 32-bit system for future a set up.
