hi all, i would like to go linux, have heard that debian is a good compilation, and want to give it a try. my system is a amd athlon 64 3500 currently running windows and with an empty partition for linux. i have a few questions one might be able to help.
1. this 64bit thing, does it mean i cant run 32bit apps? 2. is there a specific distribution better than debian for those interested in image processing (raster and vector) and video authoring? 3. can i install it in a way that windows may boot as well? this has something to do with a swap partition as well as the linux one, isn't it? 4. noticed that there are two main compilations for 64bits, one only is official though. which one should i go for? i have already googled these questions and found a couple of facs dealing with them, but because of my newby condition, it all looked vague and complex for me. it would be great if someone could spot me clear resources on these issues. many thanks in advance! rodrigo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
