Hey all, Thanks for the quick reply. I live in Auckland, Just a stones throw from Victoria park in Freeman's Bay. I have a machine with 2 GB of Ram and 160 GB Hdd, through im going to get a bigger drive asap. Does Linux, like 32 Bit Windows, only able to address 3 GB of RAM? I have 2 slots available and can load up to 4 GB according to the Manual. I have a AMD Athlon 1640b Processor also. Cheers Glenn Morrissey.

That's heaps big enough for Linux ... I run with 3 or 4 versions installed on an 80GB drive, 5 or 6 partitions on the drive. :-) :-) Of course, data is a different story.

Pass on 32-bit Ubuntu/Linux ... but you can run 64-bit Linux anyway. RAM requirements for Ubuntu are far less than for a Windows system of the same vintage. Most of my computers run 32-bit Ubuntu, and the laptop runs 64-bit. I don't notice any differences ... except when it comes to drive my networked laser printer ... the manufacturer only supplies a 32-bit driver, and as I far as I remember, it won't run on the laptop (haven't tried with Ubuntu 10.04). I did stress out a 256MB system the other day ... using Lubuntu 10.04 (ie up to date software on an old computer). Was installing extra software and hadn't realised that the automatic update stuff was also running. Running a few virtual machines is an easy way of stressing a computer with heaps of RAM ;-) ;-) Michael
You could install 64-bit if your CPU supports it. You could also install a PAE-aware kernel in 32-bit linux. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-4gb-ram-limitation-solution/ I've never had more than 2G of ram anyhow and the most recent ubuntu is plenty fast enough for me.

Hey All, Which OS is best for a novice like me. The 32 bit or the 64 bit. Are either 'User Friendly'. Can I dual boot Windows Vista on One HDD and Linux on another HDD? Glenn.
I would go with 32bit for beginner, 64bit has the occasional glitch with things (ie flash has odd bugs in firefox, but chrome works fine) Yes you can dual boot, if you are new you may want to go to an installfest. Join up the Aucklug and ask for local people to help out http://auckland.linux.net.nz/ Liz On 16 July 2010 12:36, Glenn Morrissey <gmorrissey(a)kol.co.nz> wrote:

Thanks Liz.
I'm heading to Auckland tonight and can bring a cd, or you can ask on the Auckland LUG mailing list for faster response.
