Dear Ryan and BULug members: I just got a board with an Intel Duo Quad-core processor. I understand the processor can run 62- as well as 32-bit programs. What Linux distribution should I install on it? Is the 64-bit distribution (which is labeled AMD) appropriate only for AMD processors? If so, are the programs in the 32-bit distribution 32-bit ones, and how do I write and run 64-bit programs? (Or do I bother?) Any hints or pointer concerning these issues? Thanks, Tom Toffoli ---------------------------------------------------------------- Tommaso Toffoli tt@xxxxxx | Research Prof. pm1.bu.edu/~tt | home: Boston University 617/353-9846 | 617/864-8545 ECE Department 8 Saint Mary's St | 26 Athens St Boston MA | Cambridge MA _________ BU LUG: http://lug.bu.edu.
