The "added" speed benefit is nonexistent. I much prefer to use 32 bit Ubuntu and only support it when I write my guides.redDEADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778199165854076395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-19360748354338432502007-09-25T13:56:00.000-05:002007-09-25T13:56:00.000-05:00hicould you include instructions for amd64 usersth...hi<BR/>could you include instructions for amd64 users<BR/><BR/>the only bit that is different is you have to add different entry's to the sources list:<BR/>deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy-amd64<BR/>deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy-amd64tom wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283231377708856201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-7000124436792564342007-09-21T02:40:00.000-05:002007-09-21T02:40:00.000-05:00deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty ey...deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy-amd64<BR/>deb-src http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb feisty eyecandy-amd64<BR/><BR/>worksH o n z ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784428169289863908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-14762942777551299152007-09-16T12:59:00.000-05:002007-09-16T12:59:00.000-05:00james bond reset all your settings to default and ...james bond <BR/>reset all your settings to default and your problems should be fixedredDEADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07778199165854076395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876560611515310173.post-51973585315038240402007-09-13T20:51:00.000-05:002007-09-13T20:51:00.000-05:00Thanks for getting me this far!
