any one point me to the download link of the most suitable ISO image (CD/DVD) with the latest stable Debian Lenny distro, taking into account that I have a two-processor Intel motherboard with currently one Intel Xeon 64bit processor.
On my 2 year old laptop I have an Intel Celeron Processor (The one made in June something of 2008) and last night I finally decided to tear it apart. My reasoning was, that I am going to buy a new laptop soon (I want a 64 bit system ) and lo and behold, my celeron processor has 2 cores on the chip itself. I ran several software tests on it in Linux (mostly just profiling and etc.) then I ran a full diagnostic on it and turns out that the second core was never used in any of it. So I looked over it through a magnifying glass and found a pin that was blocking a section from passing anything to this other core. I pulled the pin out and popped my processor in my laptop. Windows refused to boot at first except into Safe Mode because of a hardware change. It was there that my PC was re-evaluated and while previously I had a 3.5 out of 5.0 according to Vista, I know have a 4.1/5.0 thus Aero now was enabled. I then tried something crazy, I popped in the Arch64 net-install disk and VIOLA!!! It loaded and installed Arch64 successfully. Thus, I converted what was a 32 bit processor into a now 64 bit processor by (carefully) removing a pin. After doing research it seems other people found this out too and am wondering to myself, if Intel created this cheap of a 64bit processor, why didn't they market it like that and/or use this as their low-end 64 bit processor? It's all very fishy to me and I really don't know what to make of it.
As an update, I have re-soldered the pin on and Windows still sees the 2nd core. Arch64 however refuses to boot because it's trying to boot 64bit instructions on a 32bit processor again. It seems that since Windows saw that it was there, it has loaded a new driver (some weird "Intel Blah blah blah" [didn't write it down and don't feel like rebooting, sorry] ) that wasn't loaded before. It's still running Vista 32bit (NOT going to upgrade), but it still sees that the other core is there.
A friend is trying to rescue some files from his computer because Windows won't boot, so he's making a Live CD. However, he realized that he accidentally downloaded the Intel version of Ubuntu, but he has an AMD processor. Does this matter for a Live session if he's not actually installing anything?
I've downloaded the Ubuntu Server 64AMD version. Will this work with an Intel Xeon processor? I've an old SuperMicro 1U Server X5DPR-8G2+ Xeon Dual 2.8GHz/1GB I'd like to use. Will Ubuntu Server work with this or do I need the 32bit version?
I have a Sony Vaio laptop core i5 2.3 Ghz processor . Firstly , i know its prudent to install 64bit OS in my laptop , but will 32bit ubuntu also run in my system ?
Secondly , when i try to download the 64 bit OS , it shows amd64. Is the ubuntu64bit common for both amd and intel machines ?
Using Arch Linux. I am looking for a good word processor. I don't need a lot of file format support. Only RTF (for WordPad on W$). I want one that it is easy to use. I've been searching on Google and these are the ones that constantly show up. I have tried them, and don't like them. (Abiword was OK, but I couldn't get spell-check to work...)Just something light and easy to use, with just the usual features. I don't want a billion features. All I want is something I don't have to fight against to get a nice looking, presentable document. Emacs, Vi and *TeX* are not very easy to use, so don't mention the 'advanced' ones like that.
I upgraded my system today from Kubuntu 10.10 (or whatever the last full release was) to 11.04 using the automated web process. I know, I know, I should have tested off a live cd or a thumb drive, foolish mistake. On upgrade the video card works, and it boots fine... but I have no keyboard and mouse. I checked the forums and realized that maybe it was a problem with the brand of keyboard and mouse I was using. so I've tried four manufacturers (even tried switching between wired and bluetooth) to no avail.I've also tried starting in recovery mode, but the problem persists.
To be specific, my bios sees the hardware just fine, and I'm able to hold down shift and pull up the selection options pre-OS, and select which one to run... and I can see the red optical light on the mouse no problem, so it's not a defect of either the motherboard or the input devices themselves. However, once in the OS, in recovery mode, or anything else, I'm left without a keyboard or mouse. As my system only has USB ports and not PS2, I can't check a hardware spec beyond what I've tried.Also, it doesn't work if I select the "boot into an older version of linux" which is odd.Can someone make a recommendation? Is there a way to get a liveboot cd of the previous version of Kubuntu that worked?
Dont know where to add this topic... you can move it somewhere else if I missed topic. So my question: I own Intel i5-750 processor, should I install Ubuntu x68 or 64-bit PC (AMD64) version? As far as I know my processor is 64bit but this AMD64 is confusing me.
I purchased a Sony Vaio with an Intel I3 Processor. I tried to install Ubuntu 9.1 via the CD in Windows. It loads, then when rebooting into Ubuntu... Nothing. I tried to boot off the CD and it boots until I click install.. Then nothing. I tried to install from a flash drive... nothing...
I demo'd 9.10 32 bit and got my wlan woking using ndiswrapper. Then, I decided to install the 64 bit version and I cannot get my driver to work. Can't find a 64 bit driver for my D-link DWA-130 USB adapter. What is the easiest way to uninstall 9.10 so I can install the 32 bit version? Is it as simple as reformatting the ubuntu partition?
If your PC has a 64-bit AMD or Intel processor, you will most likely need the "amd64" images (though "i386" is also fine), the "ia64" images will not work."Does it mean I should use ia64 image for my 64-bit intel processor?
I am using Intel xeon processor on linux plotform using EL4.4. the following error message appear frequently.... the error shows like that

Downloaded from here: [URL] then ,it is 32-bit and I need to know what all 32-bit libs are needed as dependency for skype to work. I am on Gnome Fedora and purposefully selected static version of skype to prevent installation of libqt4.
I am running Ferdora 12 (constantine) 64 with Intel Xeon 3.2GHz processor + 12GB Ram. I am running this machine specifically for number chunching applications but it isnt running as fast as i thought it would! Are there any tips to optimizing the speed of processors in fedora?
I am downloading the 64-bit image of Ubuntu 9.10 right now, but I notice the filename has "amd64" in it. Will it only work on 64-bit AMD processors? I want to install it onto an enterprise-class server with a 64-bit Intel Xeon processor.
I'm about to upgrade a server for a local non-profit, and am looking at a Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3L motherboard and an Intel Core i5 750 processor. Does anyone have any observations or experiences with SUSE on this platform?
I have an Intel DX58SO motherboard with the ALC889 onboard sound, running kubuntu 10.04, and I am not getting analog sound. Strangely, spdif is working great, but I need analog to work, too. I've been in alsamixer, nothing is muted. That's the extent of my troubleshooting knowledge for sound issues.
I just went from ubuntu 9.04 and changed to kubuntu 10.10 and I have a few issues on making my resolution default. I have went in my system settings> monitors and changed the resolution but it keeps coming back to different resolution after I reboot. I have check the md5 on the disk and it reports no errors.
Could people with Chipset : Intel i945PM confirm whether they can use 4Gb ram. I came across lot of posts that their sys will not go beyond 3.2Gb even when they use PAE enabled kernel or 64bit OS. I have this chipset and 4Gb ram and does not matter what I use it will not show more than 3.2Gb. I know that lot of 1st gen netbooks used the same chipset.
I read on some forums that it's a chipset limitation, but intel documents do not say this instead they say that it should support up to 4Gb.
my play on linux wont work i go to download a game and it just freezes then it asks me to force quit or wait is because of the computer im using a netbook nb305 toshiba with a intel atom processor with ubuntu netbook os?
I dual boot windows 7 and Kubuntu on my laptop, my wireless card works on windows 7 no problem, and luckily the company also has a linux version of the driver. My question is, how can I install packages on kubuntu without a wired internet connection, and what packages should I download to be able to install the driver on kubuntu without getting errors?
My wireless card is Realtek 8192CE. Here is the download page for the driver, in case I missed something. I am dual-booting Kubuntu/Windows 7 x64bit.
