Hello. Maybe a lot of people answered, but I want to tell my opinion too. I using amd64 Kubuntu since few monts. 1 Am I right in assuming that 64bit Linux has improved since I tried it? - YES, a lot I think...as I experienced.. 2 If the answer to that is yes, are there good reasons to move to 64bit? - again, YES.. 30-40% faster working, compiling and faster boot, shutdown 3 Are there still some problems with it? - I don't think so. I using FF3in1 script what installs me a Firefox32 bit browser with flash+java support. Then I installed a GTK theme and everything works flawlessly. 4 Do many people on the list use it or are most still on 32bit? - Only one pc using 32bit at home, other two are using 64. After the new parts arrived, I will install amd64 on that too. It's just faster. 5 Does anyone have suggestions, advice, help for me about this? - Yes, use the script for easy install of java+flash (ff3in1(<a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1174435</a>) - other one, use ENVY to install Nvidia/ATi drivers (It compiles the amd64 drivers better than the simple install does). - Uhm..there was a memory leak in the def. kernel in the 7.10, but Hardy using the 2.6.24 based one.. so I don't know any other problems. <div>2008/3/16, Neil Winchurst <<a href="mailto:neil@holsdev.vispa.com">neil@holsdev.vispa.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> In May 2008 I bought a new computer (set up to my specs), which included a 64bit AMD processor. At the time my distro was Mandriva so I installed Mandriva 2006 64bit. I soon realised that it was early days for 64bit on Linux, (eg some packages were available in 32bit versions only). Before long I decided to start again so I installed the 32bit version instead. In October 2006 I moved over to Kubuntu and installed Edgy, the 32bit version. This is the distro that I am still using. My HD has now reached the stage where it needs a good clear out and tidy up. I have decided that the best and easiest way would be a completely fresh install. I am planning to install Kubuntu Hardy when it comes out next month. Meanwhile it has occurred to me that 64bit Linux must have improved a lot in the nearly two years since I tried it out. So at last to my questions. 1 Am I right in assuming that 64bit Linux has improved since I tried it? 2 If the answer to that is yes, are there good reasons to move to 64bit? 3 Are there still some problems with it? 4 Do many people on the list use it or are most still on 32bit? 5 Does anyone have suggestions, advice, help for me about this?
