Hello I am downloading Centos, but I don't know What is the difference between Centos 5 and Centos 5.0 also as far as I remember any rpm or file ending with 64 designed for AMD 64 bit, can I install CentOS-5.0-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso on Intel 64 bit as well ? Thanks

Currently it points to 5.0.> > also as far as I remember any rpm or file ending with 64 designed for AMD 64 > bit, > can I install CentOS-5.0-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso on Intel 64 bit as well ?They're designed for an x86_64 processor. It includes AMD and Intel. -- lfr 0/0 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

For a desktop, if you want to avoid issues with browser 32-bit plugins, etc. and don't NEED the 64-bit, may want to stick with i386 release. Phil
