If this is the case which one is recommended > amd64 or i386? well, that depends on what you want to do... while for some applications, the 64bit extentions can be a performance boost, not all apps work in 64bit mode... you can however install a 32bit chroot (there is a howto somewhere for that)... for a server _most likly_ everything should work in 64bit...

Will > amd64 work on the P4 chip? it will work on all p4 chips that have "em64t" as intel calls it. and of course there is the advantage that with 64bit, one app can access more then 4gb of ram... i hope it helps a bit. yours albert - -- Albert Dengg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBRYsB/SIMiEpzxsFKAQIXngP/b2BDKYJYnZfJClnoynF6AT5/+8tZHRrf Cbvgw2I/kOGnYZeVsbDGln9pWnKtPgVxqDBcCKkt3OA0v66OFAXzxCEI3etbHyyH SYT/hm0mPR0otL/qkUo+XOiTf9TFUcaYoYIpqlf/P+Hg2FS0TtF+dtWYrUagH8fV 60rxWG6caME= =d6AJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
