suitable linux for new laptop
Hi!
I just bought a new laptop. It's configuration is- AMD turion 64 x2 2GB, 250GB, ATI Raedeon Graphics Card. I want to install fedora on it. Which iso file I should download for my machine- i386, i686 or x64-86? Further more after this i want to install VLSI CAD Tool-ALLIANCE on it. It requires open motif libraries. From where I can get it? Waiting for reply. It's needed for my graduation project. Thank You. |
Well you probably want a DVD, so there's no 686, and I'd suggest the 386, since there are 64_86 issues around various plug-ins (flash for example) and not major performance increases for a laptop.

All of the choices will work, 64bit though has its problems:

Would help if you gave a few details.
Teek, as I see it (and I'm no expert here), certain applications experience better 64 bit pickups that others - mysql being one. I suspect on a desktop (ie not server) it doesn't matter much. Rgds |
