Linux on 64 bits	by thetree	2005-08-16 12:51:46
I am planning to build the next computer with a 64 bit processor, however, I am wondering what the deal is? Can I run 32-bit programs on 64 bit machines? Is there a 64-bit compiler for C(++)? Could someone explain to me what advantages and disadvantages linux on amd64 opteron has? Also, what is a good distro to install on the machine? (I tried google, but couldn't find a pros and cns page anywhere)
