Hi all, Just performing an "upgrade" of my Ubuntu laptop - going from a heavily modified 10.04.2 to a stock 10.10, and if that works then up to a stock 11.04 and then 11.10. By the sheer number of errors I'm getting, I'm not expecting the 10.04.2 -> 10.10 step to work smoothly, so I'm downloading Debian Testing netinst images to burn. Now, the laptop in question is a dual-core AMD64, however I've never actually run any 64bit OSes on it - I guess I was put off by the "problems" faced early on. Many years have passed since then, but have things got any better? So, I ask you, fellow LUGgers: is it worth installing AMD64 Debian on an AMD64 machine, or should I stick with i386 Debian? Answers on a postcard, or failing that here will be sufficient. :D Cheers.
