Yeah, SS runs fine on Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit Desktop here. But I'll level with ya, I'm not sure what speed advantage you'd gain. You just end up using more memory. Apparently 64-bit is only useful for programs designed to take advantage of 64-bit, and even then, only for very computationally-intensive programs. I believe SS is more database - I/O intensive.
I've never had 32-bit installed on this hardware so it's hard for me to tell whether things are faster or not, and this hardware is quite fast, so there's nothing obviously slow. But when I had 512 MB of memory things were tight for sure. With 2 GB now there's lots of free memory, I'm rarely over 1 GB. However with the GUI-less server version you would avoid the biggest problem with 64-bit - no Flash in web browsers. It's worth a try, and you shouldn't experience any more issues than you would with a 32-bit install. It's just that you may use more memory for no real reason, memory which SS may be able to use. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40256 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
