Bitmap Index, when use it?

Hello,

I've a table wich 6 milions of rows, and this table have one column "TYPE" char(2).
This column is used to descript the type of the row.

This column have 35 distict values and is frequently used in "where" clause.

I think this is a good column to create an Bitmap index? It's true? or 35 distict values is so much to bitmap indexes?

Thanks for help.
