Yup there is a 64 Bit Version!
It might be faster, hard to tell with all the different kinds of
hardware out there.
In Ubuntu Linux all the drivers that are, are in repositories, that your
Program called Synaptic, can access, all in one place. All the URL's are
built in, you just connect, and there they are, if they are there.
A friend of mine said this morning, that he is beginning to like Linux -
""It works!", You don't have to constantly try to fix it, or mess with
it - It works!"
