32 bit architecture
Hello everybody,
I have been using Redhat 8, like it a lot, all the warm and fuzzy stuff. Looking to change to Fedora Core 2 right now. I went to the Fedora page to check for Compatibility issues, and I saw something quite alarming. In the CPU requirements for Fedora Core 2, it looks like it's saying a 64bit processor is required?! Here is the webpage: fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/ I was sceptical about this, since that would mean about 95% of end users would be out of luck, but yet, there it is. Can anybody tell me if this is true, or if Core 2 has a kernel version for 64bit architecture and 32 bit architecture. How can I tell the difference? Also, does anybody know a good reliable source for hardware compatibility? I have checked the HCL and didn't find what I was looking for. Thanks. |

just select the download for the 32 bit architecture ;) as of the HCL, if i was unsure i would just google it on www.google.ca/linux ... or you can just mention what your looking for and someone could probably tell ya ... |
No, Fedora core 2 can most definately take 32 bits. I am pretty sure that every linux distro does.

I'm using it on a 32-bit machine. ISO's loaded from the fedora link off redhat's
page. |
Thanks everybody for reply. That is what I thought, just wanted to double check.
How do you guys like Fedora? Is it everything a successor to Redhat should be? |
