A client is insisting to install CentOS 6.2 32 bit version [1] on a system with 4GB RAM. Lately, I have done 64 bit installations only; not sure if the 32 bit kernel supports pae for >= 4GB RAM. If anyone knows the answer please let me know (will save me time on an installation in my setup). [1] The Client's ERP vendor has validated the application on the 32 bit platform only thus the reason for 32 bit version. Thanks, -- Arun Khan
