I have enjoyed SuSE on AMD Athlons since May, 2000 when I bought my first boxed version of SuSE (6.4). I've had many hours of uneventful installs installing SuSE on 32 bit computers since 7.2 (6.4 was anything but effortless). Is there anything about installing SuSE 10.1 on a 64 bit machine I should be aware of, or is the install on a 64 bit machine as easy as installing on a 32 bit machine? Thanks-Tom
Just as easy. I've used nothing but AMD chips for years. When I did this upgrade to a dual opteron system, the 32bit ran fine. Yes, I had to change some of the hardware, but I was prepared for that. When XP complained, and wouldn't boot without major work, I blew it away and installed 10.0 64bit in it's place. The install went fine, and it even picked up the 32bit version in grub. Wouldn't change it for the world now. Mike -- Powered by SuSE 10.0 Kernel 2.6.13 KDE 3.4 Kmail 1.8 9:37pm up 12:39, 4 users, load average: 2.20, 2.16, 2.18
