    Thumbs up Does AMD and Linux goes hand in hand?

    Guys and Gals,

    I am planning to buy my second pc for Networking. My basic requirement is that I must be able to practice networking like Configuring DNS, NIS, DHCP, SAMBA, SQUID etc servers in LINUX

    I am not at all interested in Gaming.

    It will also be used for Oracle Server.

    I already have an INTEL machine.

    THis time I want to buy an AMD processor.

    How much support does Linux provides to AMD and specially AMD 64 bit processors.

    I have heard that Some Linux distros don't provide support to AMD for EG Debian Linux has no official support to AMD 64 bit processor.

    Suse & Mandriva Linux has 64-bit version , so also Fedora Core 5.
    I recommend Mandriva Linux. Since it's very easy to configure also very powerful.
    If you know Linux quiet well go for Suse. I'm not sure of the other distros. But Mandriva & Suse surely support AMD 64 bit processors.

    Even ubuntu ships 64-bit version and it should work fine with AMD. I don't have firt hand experience but it should do fine.
