Title: Went to 64 bit
Post by: Magnum on August 06, 2013, 05:08:11 AM
I was considering Win 7 64 bit,  but I am dual booting and been using OpenSuse 64 bit.

It's very stable and installed on first try.

It's nice to be able to use all 4 Gb of RAM.

It's a lot faster than Windows, especially surfing.

It's strange not having any security updates or service packs.

Even the 32 bit was faster.

Security updates for openSUSE are provided by the SUSE Security Team for two months after the second-next release, which currently is around 18 months. See the openSUSE Lifetime page for details.

Have a lot of fun in the 64 bit world, Andy.  :t
