If you're going to install emacs 24 system wide, it could be good idea
to uninstall it and
tell Ubuntu's package manager to ignore it for the time being. If you
don't, it *may* get
overwritten accidentally.
If you want to keep around, you could install 24 under your home directory.

It should not.

WRT Ubuntu, I don't know, but I've been running 24 from trunk on a 64
bit machine
with no problems for a while now. If you mean something else, could
you clarify your
question?

I don't, although you could just install a 64 bit server version and
work up from there.
If you'd like to try a clean minimal GNU/Linux setup, I'd recommend Arch.
