fairly low-end but 64-bit); has anyone got any positive / negative
experience installing Debian on this computer?
Apart from the coolness factor, *why* 64 bit on a netbook?
I think it's a better choice in a netbooks or notebook with AMD Vision
enabled, and they're 64bit capable.
But you don't say *why* 64 bits is better on a netbook.
I'll give you one big reason why it's a bad idea: binary wireless
drivers. (Netbooks ae highly integrated and your choices are
limited, since most use the same small set of mobos.)
