Re: [OT I think] Which Distro?



What applications or usage scenarios get more out of your hardware as
with 32bit / 64bit kernel?

How much better are those on amd64?


If you have over 3 GB of memory then you need 64 bit. Otherwise, it is
mostly very specific scientific applications that need 64 bit: home
users will see no benefit. In _most_ cases.
