I would like to know your experiences with the x86_64 port. How does it compare with the i386 distribution in terms of stability, reliability and performance ? How significant are the performance benefits gained by using the x86_64 linux instead of i386 on the same system ? Keeping in mind a production environment, which port of CentOS do you recommend for a Core 2 Duo based server ? It would be great to have your opinion. Thanks, Manish _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. For me it comes down to 2 things; 1) what are you going to use the server for ? 2) how much ram do you have ? If these answers include database, webserver and/or > 4gb of RAM then I'd definately go 64bit. From what I've seen these are the main areas where 64bit will benefit you. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
