 http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora provides the 64-bit version of
 Fedora if you click the "Download now!" button, but the "First, download a
 Fedora iso image" link on the right hand side links to 32-bit. "More
 download options" lists 32-bit before 64-bit. Under "Formats", 32-bit is
 listed as "Most compatible".

 Modern systems are sold configured to only boot UEFI OSes by default,
 which means they won't boot the 32-bit image. "Most compatible" probably
 isn't true any more, and it should probably require significantly more
 effort to obtain the 32-bit image than the 64-bit image.
