I'm getting a new laptop today and I have to migrate my current Linux
install to the new hard drive on it. It has a 64 bit processor. I'm
thinking that while I am doing the migration I might just as well
install F9 instead of F10 and then migrate the data from my F10
installation to the new F9
My new laptop has an Intel Duo T8400 processor. Should I install the 32
or 64 bit distro ? I run a lot of esoteric open source apps. Can I
run a 32 bit application if I install the 64 bit distro ?
Thanks

Hi,

any case, the data can be migrated, very easily if you have a separate
