advice on amd64
I recently acquired a new Dell Studio 15 laptop and mean to install Debian (squeeze) on it. I'm trying to decide whether to do a 64-bit install (amd64) or a 32-bit install (i386).

Why apt-get sets such packages as manually installed?
Hi, When you don't know that you already have a given package, and that you want to install it, apt-get tells you that you already have it, and sets it to `manually installed.' Why does it set it to `manually installed' like this? What's the interest? Most of the time, I don't know that I have a given package, a... 5 Jul 2010 15:32
