Hi Jim,
thanks for your thoughts to try OpenOffice.org on not so famous
platforms. :-)
I noticed there is no AMD64 edition of openoffice. I assume this is so because
the java .exe launcher for windows only needs to be 32-bit and thus runs on
either platform just fine. and Java runs on any platform.
am I getting warm?
On Linux you can indeed choose a 64-bit version (RPM and DEB packages)
but there is no special Windows build. Just use the 32-bit version.
I have no idea what happens if you install OOo on the IA64 platform, since I
don't know if 32-bit apps run properly on IA64 or not, I have never tested on a
server - I would assume microsoft (like an x64 system) would allow you to run
32-bit apps on IA64 just as you could on x64 windows.
If you have a Linux OS with RPM support you can have a build for the
IA64 CPU but there is no Windows build.
I wonder if anyone has ever tested this (just curious for an app usability
standpoint)?
Does anyone still have IA64 boxen anymore? I thought the only procs out there
for windows servers currently was Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron, both being x64
which also double as 32-bit if your OS so chooses?
Please browse to "http://download.openoffice.org/other.html"; and have a
look for all the plattforms and languages that we offer.
We do not build special versions that depend on Intel or AMD CPUs. A
build fits for both plattforms as long as it's compatible with the x86
or x86-64 CPU families.
HTH
Best regards
