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.<br>

</div>It doesn't really matter, as long as there is a recent Python version installed/available. AFAIK, RHEL/CentOS still comes only with 2.4 which is too old. We are running MapProxy on Debian 5 and different Ubuntu versions and also have customers on OpenSuse. So you should choose a system where you are most comfortable with.<br>

</div>No, but the most CPU intensive stuff is done by the Python Image Library (PIL) and I don't know if it does run faster on 64 bit systems.<br>
