Which version should I choose? Last edited by jollibee; at PM. Any x86 cpu that is equal or superior to the original pentium can run i code. So, it's certainly possible to run code compiled for on your cpu.
The pentium was a 32 bits processor, so the software compiled for runs in 32 bits mode. So, your cpu can run in 64 bits mode or 32 bits mode, whatever suits you. Originally Posted by chrism I'm setting up Suse Linux Enterprise Is that a good OS? What do you think? Originally Posted by jollibee.

Or are you setting up a single user workstation or ordinary home system? If you are setting up a home system, selecting any "Enterprise" version of Linux is likely to confuse you. For a home system, I greatly prefer Mepis.
Ubuntu is similar to Mepis and is much more popular and is another good choice for a home system though I think Mepis is more beginner friendly. For a server, I have very limited experience using Suse and no experience installing it.
I think Centos is a better choice for a server. Originally Posted by ronlau9.

There is no difference : they are different names for the same thing.
From the sound of it, you have a bit machine that has bit libraries for backwards compatibility. Older computers run on mostly x Linux Mint is arguably the best Ubuntu-based Linux distribution suitable for beginners. So, if you do not want a unique user interface like Ubuntu , Linux Mint should be the perfect choice.
The most popular suggestion would be to go with Linux Mint Cinnamon edition. X64, amd64 and x are names for the same processor type. All current general-public bit desktops and servers have an amd64 processor. There is a processor type called IA or Itanium. The x86 architecture first appeared in the Intel central processing unit introduced in It was developed from the Intel processor, and the was developed from the Intel The was chosen by the IBM PC three years later, after which x86 became the standard platform for personal computers and the most successful CPU architecture ever.
The most successful manufacturer outside Intel is AMD, whose market for Athlon series processors is second only to Pentium. The is a bit processor; until the bit was developed in , this architecture remained bit. Then a series of processors showed minor improvements to the bit architecture and introduced several extensions.
Until , AMD developed a bit extension for this architecture and named it AMD64 sometimes called x, x64 or EM64T , launched the Opteron processor family, and created the x86 bit era. It is worth noting that Intel cooperated with Hewlett-Packard as early as the s to propose an independent bit architecture used in Itanium series processors. This architecture is called IA IA is a brand new system and has no similarities to the x86 architecture; it should not be confused with AMD64 or x X has nothing to do with the processor.
Because the CPU numbers of early intel are like and , the whole series of CPUs are instruction compatible, so X86 is used to identify the instruction set used.
In order to ensure that the computer can continue to run various applications developed in the past to protect and inherit the rich software resources, all CPUs produced by Intel continue to use the X86 instruction set, so its CPUs still belong to the X86 series. It is an Intel CPU compatible product. Intel 80x86 is referred to as ix86, such as i, i, i, etc.
