Re: perspectives on 32 bit vs 64 bit

board with 32 gigs or so of RAM decked out with four witheringly-fastAMD dual-core Opteron 64s?  That's also many hundreds (perhapsthousands) of times more than I can afford, but you've got to admit,AMD does have poor little Intel beat by a rather impressive margin.
This also means, in a more on-topic point, that any linux OS thatcould actually *use* the 32 gigs would need to be amulti-cpu/multi-core distro, since there are no boards (to myknowledge) that support a whole 32 gigs for *one* CPU.

been wondering this myself while watching the whole debate about
memory lol  Especially after a quick search shows up 1gig
sticks as the largest out there now... So someone would need a board
with 32 memory slots right now? (or 64 for the 64gig limit i suppose?)
heh Unless I'm missing something here that seems like a LOT of memory
sticks to cram on a mobo Which makes me wonder about the whole
debate. Can any actually TEST the issue? I know I can't afford to
TRY lmao-- "Passwords are like bubble gum, strongest when fresh, should never beused by groups and create a sticky mess when left laying around"-anon

2. You can get packages not on your mirror from   packages.debian.org/so,packages.debian.org/nvidia-glx
Now, there is no Amd64 binary packages in experimental, so, grab thesources (see page above)cd /tmp  then for each of the above,wget

fakeroot dpkg-buildpackagecd ..and you have ALL of the debs ready to install. You'll have to build yourown nvidia kernel module (as always) after installing thenvidia-kernel-source package, but that is really not a problem.
Hell of a lot less messy than using the nvidia installer which messes upvirtually the entire Xorg installation.- Adam--To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to

I'm not sure how it works, but Kanotix has a built in script to install nVidia drivers...

I just typed:

install-nvidia-debian.sh

and it did all the work for me. Unfortunately, I'm in windows right now
so I'm not sure on the contents of the script, but my other boot option
is Kanotix 64 bit with kernel 2.6.11 for AMD64. The only thing it
didn't do is configure TwinView for dual monitor support. That's an
issue I'm still trying to work out. Kanotix is based on SID, but I
THINK the script pulls the nvidia files from nvidia, not a debian
repository. (from what I saw watching it install, that's where it
seemed to download them from)
