Robert Hmm well that said it was a "x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux" system! It IS important for several softwares (such as gimp) to take advantage of the 8G the sys has though. Perhaps The difference between AMD64and x86_64 is big enough though to require recompiling. Are there any good instructions on how to do this?

I'm not sure if you can install 64bit software on a 32bit system. -- from: greg heil [email protected] to: [email protected] date: 24 August 2012 07:25 subject: Re: [Sawfish] installing sawfish in xubuntu Chris Well that could be good for me ... the machine IS a (duo) 64b! How do i convince Synaptic of that though? i believe at install i used the 32b option instead.It would be rather misteak prone to do a direct install, especially as i do not know, yet, how to do that properly. greg ~krsnadas.org -- from: Christopher Roy Bratusek [email protected] to: [email protected] date: 24 August 2012 01:33 subject: Re: [Sawfish] installing sawfish in xubuntu Ahh... my repo only has AMD64, no i386. But you could download the sources and compile from those (since it's deb-src it will tell you about missing deps) Regards -- from: greg heil [email protected] to: [email protected] date: 23 August 2012 17:39 subject: Re: [Sawfish] installing sawfish in xubuntu Chris Synaptic failed to install Sawfish saying: "Could not apply changes! Fix broken packages firs." Perhaps it is because when i updated the package list a dialog said: GPG error: http://apt.nanolx.org photonic InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4B9D3375057549E2Failed to fetch http://apt.nanolx.org/dists/photonic/main/binary-i386/Packages 500 Internal Server Error Some index files failed to download.
