Thank you for the offer. Apologize for my dumbness as have been away from this many years and a newbie back then and still am. So ask some pretty dumb things as I know this is a pretty sophisticated group. I have changed my mind and decided to go with Ubunto instead. But now a question came up with what I downloaded from Ubunto. In the download I selected 64 bit from the drop down since I have a Intel P6100 2.00 g chip and Intel indicates that is a 64 bit. Yet the Ubunto drop down recommended using the 32 bit. But my dilemma with that 64 bit download is that is say AMD64. I am not sure what it will be if I download the 32 bit as recommended. So the question is will the 64bit AMD run with my Intel chip? If I download the 32 bit as recommended will that be an Intel instruction set and still be ok with my 64 bit chip. Hope all that is clear and any help appreciated. terry --- On Sun, 3/6/11, Samael <samael.anon at gmail.com> wrote: From: Samael <samael.anon at gmail.com> Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Buy CD/DVD locally?

I would recommend using the Debian torrent for your architecture: http://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/ Then you just burn it to DVD (or mount it to install it to a VM, which I recommend for newbies personally) and you're set to install. -A On Mar 5, 2011, at 21:09 , terry houle wrote: It sounded like it took a real long time from the Debian page I was reading. --- On Sat, 3/5/11, Adam Morris <adam.morris at redstargaming.net> wrote: From: Adam Morris <adam.morris at redstargaming.net> Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Buy CD/DVD locally?

Another idea that wouldn't cost you any money is one of us could mail you a disk or meet somewhere and hand it off. -A On Mar 5, 2011, at 20:29 , terry houle wrote: I am a newbie with Linux. Wondering if there are stores in town that sell just the CD or DVD? Rather than mail in for it would like to purchase one locally. I am thinking Debian at the moment but have not decided for sure. Any pointers appreciated. terry _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
