Thankyou so much Kind Regards Siju Interesting question, a couple of comments that may shed some light, though not directly answering your question. The amd64 port is not officially part of the Debian archive, nor is it supported by security. There may be other considerations as well but these two make me uncomfortable running any release, for a critical application. My $.02 :-) -- Greg C.

Thankyou so much Using a normal Sarge install then installing this: kernel-image-2.6.9-9-amd64-k8 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.9 on AMD64 systems has resulted in a very stable environment for myself. Mind you, not all applications are 64 bit but most of them don't have to be. Aside from a few enhancments (much like back in the day between pentium and pentium-mmx cpu's) the 64 bit really only means (to me) more memory and more bandwidth support. -- Darryl [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://smartssa.com / http://darrylclarke.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Check out the debian-amd64 mailing list, and the FAQ (don't have it's URL, though it is somewhere on alioth.debian.org). Is 64-bit Debian as stable as 32-bit Debian? Depends on what you want to do. -- - Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail. Is common sense really valid? For example, it is common sense to white-power racists that whites are superior to blacks, and that those with brown skins are mud people. However, that common sense is obviously wrong. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: Debian 64 bit on servers
Hi Greg, Darryl and Ron, Thankyou so much for the reply :) On Sun, 2 Jan 2005 23:17:56 -0500, Darryl Clarke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Using a normal Sarge install then installing this: kernel-image-2.6.9-9-amd64-k8 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.9 on AMD64 systems has resulted in a very stable environment for myself. Mind you, not all applications are 64 bit but most of them don't have to be. So afterwards if I ap-get pargrams from the net will they aso be 64-bit? Can 32-bit programs also run on it? Aside from a few enhancments (much like back in the day between pentium and pentium-mmx cpu's) the 64 bit really only means (to me) more memory and more bandwidth support. So what would you suggest for me as a server? I run, apache, MySQL, Postfix, Samba, NFS . Presently it is a Pentium III machine. I want a bit more speed and would like to get a server hardware that is not too costly. Thankyou so much once again for the replys :)) Good lucK Kind Regards Siju -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
