From: Merciadri Luca on 1 Jul 2010 07:30 Hi, I've never used AMD-based computers, and I've therefore always chosen i386 as I habitually deal with Intel stuff. The fact is that I've got to install Debian on an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core. The AMD world is totally stranger for me. I would like to know if there are (nontrivial) differences in the installation process/in choices to make for Debian's install. Thanks. -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP. If there is an incompatibility problem with your mail client, please contact me.

When talking about an OS installation, AMD world is the same as Intel world, nothing more or less to care about than the usual decision-stuff (32 or 64 bits, GNOME or KDE...?) ;-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

That is because AMD's complete desktop and server line of CPUs is designed to be x86-compatible. (Note, though, that while Intel broke off to create the incompatible Itanium, AMD *extended* the 32-bit x86 instruction st to 64 bits, and Intel had to catch up when they saw what a huge technical and market success it was. Thus, the popular 64-bit arch is amd64.) -- Seek truth from facts. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hi, It's true. There is no difference in the installation process of OS (AMD or Intel). If you are using it for personal purpose i386 is preferred. Other wise i recommend i686.
