I put it on a second hard drive so the 32-bit version is untouched. All was fine until I wanted to use my Brother DCP 135C printer/scanner. I looked at their Linux driver page, and the only drivers available are the ones I already have. I get the error message that they are for the wrong architecture as they are i386 packages. I don't suppose there is a workaround for this? The drivers are not open-source as far as I know. Maybe I just have to stick with the 32 bit Ubuntu? </blockquote></div> If there is a deb package you should be able to force the install. My experience with 64-bit came up with a few problems like that and now that the PAE kernels are available, it's taken away the need for it for machines with 4Gb of RAM or more. s/ -- Twitter: @sfgreenwood<div>My CV: <a href="http://bit.ly/sfgreenwood_cv" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/sfg</a>_new_cv "Is this your sanderling?" </div>
