Scientific Linux Live CD/DVD 5.5 has been released for i386 and x86_64. (...) - livecd: CD-ROM for 32bit - livecd64: CD-ROM for 64bit - livedvd: DVD-ROM for 32bit - livedvd64: DVD-ROM for 64bit - mini_livecd: Mini CD-ROM for 32bit
Hi, What was the reason not to release the mini_livecd 64bit? I got AMD+ATI x64 MoBo platform with embedded Radeon 4200 ATI graphics plus AMD Athlon II X2 245 (Dual-Core). For several years I have been using Debian x32 and now x64 but I badly need something more __stable__. The problem is that ATI driver (compiled) + flash + blackbox/icewm + opera browser (x64) make the system NOT rock solid (either screen or part of Opera window flickers from time to time blocking the whole system - what is a known problem, see the google search - or the sound freezes in 32bit version as it happens with x32 mplayer/alsaplayer in x32 Debian). I do not use KDE or GNOME hence the miniCD versions of any opsys suit me the best. Just like Debian netinstall CD. A few days ago I have installed SL Mini-LiveCD. To my surprise the process went without _any_ problems from X settings and without resorting to ATI driver! The system works but I'd like to check x64 version and decidedly I do not want to see the GNOME blob on my system. I got an impression, it is my personal impression, that x64 Debian has worked a bit faster. It was a little bit more responsive. Whether it has grounds in reality doesn't matter - my feelings counts. Anyway the OpenObjectREXX test showed x64 worked faster than x32 (4.2 mln ops for x64 vs 3.8 mln ops for x32). ooRexx in x32 SL gives ~4.0 mln ops. So far so good! :-) Best regards Przemysław Pawełczyk -- http://pp.blast.pl Używam Opera Mail: http://www.opera.com/mail/
