For a new laptop I would say Sarge probably is not current enough, check 
the hardware though if you want to be sure. A while back unstable was a 
better bet for amd64 than testing, not sure if that is still the case.

Depends on how well Sarge supports your hardware and on how experienced
you are with debian.
I generally install testing and switch immediately to unstable, but i like
the bleeding edge.

If you want a more conservative approach, then go with Sarge and know that
you might need newer kernels than the default one to support your hardware.

what's better for AMD64 [ASUS A6B00K]

2006-03-16 Thread Bartek Boguszewski
hi everyone,

i just decided to install Debian into my laptop with AMD64 (AMD
Turion/tm 64 Mobile) with NVIDIA GeForce Go 6200 and I would like to
ask which option is better:

"testing" distribution (regenerated weekly) from: cdimage.debian.org

or

the unofficial Debian-AMD64 Sarge from:
cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/sarge-amd64
(last version is from jenuary 2005)

by the way if some one has ASUS A6B004 - i'll be glade for all
information which can help during installation

thanks in advance,

Bartek
