From pure64 to gcc-3.4?
Just a quick one: is it possible to upgrade from the pure64 branch to the gcc-3.4 branch? If so, how? Thanks a lot :-)

If so, how? It is possible. You can change your '/etc/apt/sources.list', but you have to make sure that you 'apt-get install --reinstall' every C++ package from pure64 which is installed on your system. There were some threads on this list with suggestions how to do that. The pure64 branch uses 'libstdc++5' and the gcc-3.4 branch uses 'libstdc++6'. Mixing those two will lead to problems. Worked great, thanks :-)
Re: Recommedn AMD64 machine for Debian

We have a wealth of experience using Dell and HP workstations, but neither of them offer an AMD64 option. If I cannot get a prebuilt machine from someone like Dell or HP, what type of motherboard and peripherals (SCSI/IDE/SATA hard drive, network card, sound card, video card, DVD burner, etc) would you recommend setting up? There is a mainboard compatibility list available here: https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/27/mainboards.html Personally, I've had good experiences with MSI K8N Neo2 (Socket939) - I bought it because it was rated highly in a recent issue of Linux Format. As for the DVD burner, I bought a Plextor PX-712A and it works great too. Ladislav

It has an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (2.2 GHz), NVidia GeForce FX 5200 128 MB, and 512 MB PC3200 RAM. Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question, but do you mind pointing me to a resource about installing the nvidia driver? So far I've tried the downloaded binary (cannot load nvidia.ko), then I also tried installing it the Debian way (getting some error about rivafb being included in the kernel), but no luck. Thanks a lot.

I don't have a problem with sound inside the chroot - it works exactly the same way as in the 64-bit part of the system. I know this information is not very helpful, but at least you know that it should work :-)

Good luck! Thank you. I didn't have gcc-3.4 installed, which turned out to be the reason for my failure to install the nvidia binary.
