Re: [LUG] 32/64 bit

[Paul Sutton <zen14920@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not got any experience with 64 bit computing, I know that kanotix 
supports 64bit processors, as there is both a 32 and 64 bit computing,  
I would guess normal debian is available in 64 bit too.   (kanotix is 
based on sid).

I have a benq tft monitor which works fine,  model FP731,  this works 
under suse, as there are  drivers for suse, plus it works great with 
what kanotix,

Hope this helps.
