What Linux to get for A64


Hello.

I currently run a A64 Platform with Windows XP SP2, and wanna try out a Linux that makes use of my 64bit CPU (no matter what advantage or dissadvantage).

It would be a free downloadable ISO too.

Thanks for any tips

-Cheers

You could try SuSE. You will have to either download, burn and boot from the network install CD image or buy it. Or you could go the less newbie-friendly (but well documented) Gentoo route.

Thank you for your help. I just read about Gentoo and it sure does sound very interesting. I will give it a try :-)

Should be done in 6 minutes, i love 300k a sec downloads :-) I never got that from SUSE
