Just to be precise : I downloaded the amd64-sarge-cd1, and the netboot-sid. Both discovered the gigabit ethernet correctly. But they found the firewire interface before and gave the eth0 interface to it. Then it did DHCP requests on the firewire instead of the ethernet. To me, the sarge did

amd64 / x86-64 as i386?

Hey all! Sorry about me coming with this stuped question, but I have browsed the documentation for the amd64 port but did not find a complete answer. I will be ordering a new system in couple of days time and through a local reseller I got a _really_ good offer on an AMD Athlon 64 2800+ CPU.

As the list archives will show, the unofficial debian pure64 port does work and is in use by many people, although it is not perfect. You can run the i386 version if you like. On Wed, 12 Jan 2005, Didde Brockman wrote: Hey all! Sorry about me coming with this stuped question, but I have browsed

Thanks for all your answers. It's good to hear that I won't be limited to a specific port. Just one more question; is this particular CPU not used to its fullest extent while running the i386 port? What I mean is to ask if the Athlon 64's are good 32-bit processors or if I'd be utilizing it
