RE: [LUG] Linux & AMD 64

["Simon Williams" <uveraser@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been trying to install Linux on my AMD64 PC for a few weeks now
& not have been very successful. I have been trying the 64 & 32 Bit
versions.

I was wondering if others were having similar issues with AMD64's & Linux

I have tried several different distros & none of them can seem to
manage a basic install with out crashing at some point, the most
progress so far has been with Ubunto which will install but then fails
to boot at all. The only version that does work is Knoppix Bootable CD
(which as I understand it, there is not installer for this one) this
one works perfectly.

Spec
AMD 3200
Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9
MSI 6600GT PCI Express Graphics Card
1 GB Ram
40GB Sata Drive

I am now really starting to miss my linux desktop.

Thanks in adavnce
Steve

How about Linux From Scratch? It can be a bit time consuming and very 
challenging, but it's much faster, cleaner and more secure.
