Looking for a Good 64-bit Linux Distro

Name: Anonymous 2006-03-28 4:58

I've just recently assembled a 64-bit system and installed the x86_64 version of Fedora Core 5. I am truly unhappy with Fedora Core, and I wish to move to a different distro. However I really like how Fedora automaticly detects and mount removable media (USB, CD/DVD, Floppy) and displays an icon on the desktop. Is there a reletivly lightweight, desktop-oriented 64-bit Linux Distro with this automounting already built in that you would suggest? Maybe some sort of Gentoo offshoot?

Try Ubuntu or OpenSUSE.

CHOO! CHOO!


http://linux.org l ook it up. Just search for a 64-bit distribution by selecting "64-bit" on the search page. It's a real fuckin' hassle.

Gentoo, Debian/Ubuntu, and SUSE seem pretty solid.

Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 64-Bit Edition are 64 bit OSes. The applications that come with them do not do much with the extra bits, but you can run your own 64 bit applications or compile with -m64 .

BIG WARNING SIGN!!!@

Compiling applications means you are a ricer and that the applications WILL BREAK.

Don't change these.
