Compatibility and base Linux distro on Download Page

Just a suggestion, but since Mint 18.1 64bit is like Mac OS and Windows supporting both 32bit and 64bit out of the box, and the Mint team have indicated that they will continue on this path for the foreseeable future, should that “suggested” distribution be the Mint 64bit platform?

I agree. I’ve updated the System Requirements Linux info a bit to reflect this.
