I succeeded in installing the NXT client two days ago, even though my VM is 32 bit Xubuntu.  I purchased 1000 NXT at dgex.com and am now looking at an 18% increase in just two days.  However, I am still awaiting confirmation of a test transfer of 20 NXT from dgex.com to my NXT client (no fee offered).

A NXT donation to 9153877396726792669 would be appreciated, as it would allow me to learn more about this second generation crypto-protocol.
