Im using FC5 64 bit right now.. Its awesome! And Digit never has, and probably never will give any 64 bit edition of linux mosty becaue only a few ppl have 64 bit CPU's and 32 bit Linux runs fine on 64 bit systems.

64bit is available for all linux flavours... Even Ubuntu.. You use a 64bit OS to make the most of your 64 bit processor..

Always use the best available and as ur PC supports is go for it.
I myself use Open SuSE 10.0 x64

Either download it, or order on ebay.in. By the way, lemme tell you, there are still a lot of dependancy problems with 64 bit linux.

Here's the link to cd's available page http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/CDs_Available

@tech_your_future
I mailed him , he said he dont have .

[mehulved]

Hmm allright I can download it for you. You just need to provide me cost of media and a few days needed to download.
Which distro do you want?

[hellomotto]

that will be great , I am looking for SuSE ( 64 edition only ) . but for u unlimited download is free? I have net connection but I have 1 GB limit .

[mehulved]

Yeah I got 256kbps unlimited connection. All right I will download OpenSuse 10.1 x86_64 DVD.

[hellomotto]

[mehulved]

I stay in south mumbai so I guess you will have to do some travelling.

[hellomotto]

that I can , although I am mainly familier with VT , anyway this thread is more and more becoming our personal so I think instead of using this thread we should use our personal mails now, I am sending it to u by PM .
