Hi Tom,

Nope, nothing was their. I was moving from Windows to Linux so I did a
complete format and installed from scratch.

So what is so great about 64bit?  Does it use resources better? Do you
think it could run on

1.63Ghz processor
3GB Ram
100GB HDD

or would I experience severe quality problems?

Thanks!

Anthony
