Dear Interweb,<\/p>\n
A tiny issue plagues me. With everyone’s favourite Linux distribution of choice, Ubuntu. I’m looking at the Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) Beta<\/a> and for the life of me, can’t decide which to install on a Core 2 Duo machine (this was no better with Ubuntu 6.10 – and I’ve got both the amd64 and i386 ISOs sitting here). Its not AMD64, and its not 32-bit, so what are my choices? Referencing a post with regards to System76 support<\/a>, it looks like I might have to go with a 32-bit install disc?<\/p>\n If I do have to go with the 32-bit install disc, why is that so? I mean, with Fedora, I’m quite happily running x86_64.<\/p>\n Kudos to the wiki documentation on Core 2 Duo Support<\/a>, though maybe its a little dated. This is a very important question to answer, because I can imagine a lot of new laptops are actually, Core 2 Duo based (as probably are a lot of new desktops).<\/p>\n Also, a little bit of disappointment, but Ubuntu 7.04 has support for SPARC and not PowerPC. In a time when it might be opportune for third-world countries to start having Ubuntu-running Macs on their desktop…<\/p>\n Technorati Tags: ubuntu<\/a>, core 2 duo<\/a>, feisty fawn<\/a>, edgy eft<\/a>, powerpc<\/a><\/p>\n Update<\/strong>: I have concluded that the 64-bit Feisty Fawn is good for a Core 2 Duo. Read, Today I am a virgin<\/a> and see how I solve my 32-bit application requirement problems, in Skype on 64-bit Ubuntu Feisty Fawn via i386 chroot (and Gizmo Project too)<\/a>.<\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
