Re: [ilugd] Require 64bit Linux OS
Actually there are certain applications/modules that do not run if they detect the environment to be 64 bit. I have encountered, this problem with the tun drivers on 64 bit (http://vtun.sourceforge.net/) .. I was forced to move to a 32 bit architecture to run the same. You'd better check out your requirements, day to day 32 bit applications work just fine though. Anand On 3/9/06, Tanveer Singh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Should not?
