Swynndla hat folgendes geschrieben::
I agree ... look at the left of this page you are looking at ... see where it says "Stable Kernels"? ... well those are the ones to chose from h2's script. Choose "slh64" if you have a 64 bit cpu. Most users have a standard 32 bit cpu and should choose the normal "slh-up" one. "up" stands for uni-processor (or something like that) and is intended for users with only one standard 32 bit cpu. The "kanotix" one (that's the name as of when I'm posting this, but sometimes you'll see "slh-smp") if you have more than one processor, or a processor that supports hyperthreading.
I have a question on what you said. I have an AMD Athalon 64 processor but run the 32 bit version. I do this on the advice of some people here on this forum. I am new to linux and trying to learn. I have discovered that the people knew what they were saying, I am learning faster by using something that works and only using one thing. The question is, is the slh64 a 64 bit version where I will have problems running 32 bit apps or is it designed to take advantage of the processing power. Now I have myself confused somewhat. If I use the slh64 then I will be using the 64bit version where I will have problems running 32 bits apps, is that right?

the 64 bit kernels will only work with 64 bit install, not 64 bit cpu. with what you have, you use up kernel, if you have single core, or smp if you have multiple core.

jbs1136 good point ... sorry I don't know a lot about the 64 bit cpu or 64 bit install ... from what I've heard, 64bit is still in its infancy, and although it can speed things up slightly, it may not be good for a user because some apps don't work yet under 64 bit, and so 32 bit may be the way to go for now (unless you want to test the 64 bit stuff, or if you want a pc that does a lot of number crunching) ... but I guess the 64 bit scene will mature with time. |
