Well, I am also by nature, lazy and cheap :) Mandriva is the only 
"complete" distro available in Indonesia that is simple enough to use 
for beginners. Suse cost a month's salary and FC is not complete enough. 
Although if a person have plenty of RAM, I will suggest PCLinuxOS or Mepis.

I do think that 64 bit is overrated as of now unless you have plenty of 
RAM. FC4 x86_64 with its multilib feature drains a lot of HD space and 
Bandwidth while updating (since it will install and update both 32 bit 
and 64 bit editions of some libraries and apps). 32 Bit should be enough 
for your purpose.
