Can I install my existing 32 bit opensuse dvd on my new Sempron 3000+? Looking through the archive, it seems that I should download the x86-64 version and use that instead.
On the current ones you can install either. I have two of those, running as web/mail servers, one running Debian 32bit and the other running Debian AMD64 - both run fine and performance is very very good.
On my notebook (Turion64) I'm running 32bit SUSE 10.1. I had 64bit before, but there are, to my taste, just too many things that aren't right enough, and the applications I use a lot are all 32bit and run slower than in a 32bit linux (Adobe Reader, OOo, FireFox, etc).
I'll try the next version in 64bit and see how it goes.

Hi. It is possible to install either on the box I have. The 'too many things just not right' sends me in the 32 bit direction. It's mainly going to be apache, nfs and mysql server. It may have to double up as a user machine if there are a lot of users too. What would you go for then? Steve.
