Computer archetecture
It may just be hard to find if it is there... but im looking for a way to find out which version of debian I should download (based on computer), and have no idea what my computer archetecture is by looking at the list. I know it's not a mac, so I won't click powerPC... but thats as far as I have gotten.I386 sounds familiar, but that may be because Im used to a windows system... please help.

i know this might be spam, but i'll answer anyway... It has something to do with your _PROCESSOR_ (the little thingie inside your computer, that does all the hard work for you), which is probably from the i386 family (as in grandnephew of the 80386 processor). Just google for your processor name and you'll find out... i don't mean to be rude, but if you couldn't find it out by yourself, maybe you should stick to windoze Andrei Blitz wrote: It may just be hard to find if it is there... but im looking for a way to find out which version of debian I should download (based on computer), and have no idea what my computer archetecture is by looking at the list.

Thanks. Believe it or not, that actually helps. That information isn't covered anywhere I looked on the debian website. i know this might be spam, but i'll answer anyway...

Re: Computer archetecture
If you just want to get a taste of Linux you should definitely try Knoppix. Download one ISO (CD or DVD, depending on how fast your internet connection is), burn it, boot your computer with it. That's all. Andrei Frank wrote: Thanks. Believe it or not, that actually helps.

If you have a computer that runs Windows, you have an i386 system (Intel 386/486/Pentium and compatibles, such as AMD, etc). -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Unless you're running on older version of Windows NT for the Alpha. Doug -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
