Which Debian to download?

**Method512** · 02-11-12 at 06:31 PM

So......I went to debian's site to download it but I dont understand some things...

Which would I have to choose? In both scenarios (32 or 64 bits)?

It depend on the processor you have. Usually i386.

**Method512** · 02-11-12 at 06:37 PM

I know, that's why I asked considering all scenarios.

For processors:

Intel x32
Intel x64
AMD x32
AMD x64

I know it also may depend in which architeture it was build too...but I'm not aware of the existing architectures so I really dont know for which architeture to ask... :\

Then check

Code: Select All

http://www.debian.org/ports/#portlist-released

I'll check it, thanx.

Code your link btw. :)

edit:

You still need to remove the URL tags so it wont be clickable.

We both learned something new today :)

After a little googling I mostly read that Debian is better for servers. The main reason was stability. Not 100% sure though.

And lol @ the swag. I see you're bored again.

@remolinero: lol

**Method512** · 02-11-12 at 07:05 PM

nah...but I wanted to know how a server works...so what the hell, why not learn?

**Method512** · 02-11-12 at 07:08 PM

>.> Thanx I guess. lol (you must be really bored haha, drink more so the times passes faster)

**ndemars18** · 02-11-12 at 07:09 PM

did you have a specific question about servers? maybe I could help being im a server admin and all ; )

**Method512** · 02-11-12 at 07:11 PM

Thanx but no. I dont understand anything of how servers/networks work, so I'm starting from the beginning. I'll probably have lots of questions in the future, but since I really have no knowlege on this, I dont have questions. lol

(will remember you in the future though
