Post by HadronPost by LinonutPost by Peter KöhlmannPost by HadronPost by LinonutIs it perfect? No.
More to the point, is it as perfect as the 32 bit install? Answer : no.
As usual you "advocates" do Linux no service whatsoever. Fact : the 64
bit install is not as comprehensive and reliable in many settings as
the 32 bit.
So you claim. My experience is different
As usual, Hadron exaggerates or distorts my point.
The 64-bit install is about 99% as comprehensive as the 32-bit debian
install. What, only 200 packages out of 26,000 not present?
Hadron can't even count!
Err, Hadron didn't try and count because hadron is smart enough to
realise that it makes no fucking difference if its 200 or 20000 if that
number contains stuff critical to ones own needs.
Have you ever heard that you can run 32bit linux apps on a 64bit system,
Hadron Quark?
Why not, "kernel hacker" Hadron?
Because then you would know that those not yet 64bit (who is hindering you
to compile them yourself, "kernel hacker" Hadron?) which are "critical to
ones own needs" can just be installed and run
Post by HadronPost by LinonutReliability? Apart from that one OpenOffice Word doc problem, and
perhaps a little bit of slowness in Nvidia's proprietary driver,
everything is fine and reliable on 64-bit.
Liar.
Because *you* say so? There are more than a few people running 64bit linux.
*You* claim it is unreliable. Strange, as you are so alone in that claim.
Linux in 64bits exists since several years by now. Don't you think that
nearly all kinks would have been ironed out by now? After all, this is not
windows-64. Those guys are really pathetic and incompetent. Just look at
the dismal state of drivers. You can count the number of 64-bit-apps and
still have fingers left. *That* is incompetency and unreliable crap. It is
not tested very well because nobody dares to run that filthy garbage.
Not the case with linux
Post by HadronPost by LinonutUnlike Hadron, I have no urge whatsoever to set that machine back to
32-bit.
Good for you Liarnut. of course a quick google shows others do have issues.
Post by LinonutPost by Peter KöhlmannPost by HadronFor *obvious* reasons to anyone with half a clue on the
necessary porting and code checks required for 64 bit compilations.
What "necessary porting and code checks required for 64 bit
compilations" are you blubbering about, "kernel hacker" Hadron Quark?
You don't know? You dont realise that all sorts of potential issues
arise with regard to C if its not 100% standards compliant? You dont
realise that a lot of code is coded assuming 32 bit?
I am certain you can point us to those "lots of linux code" which assumes
32bits, right, "kernel hacker" Hadron Quark?
Post by HadronOr hang on, did you think that the delay in 64 bit support for so many
packages was simply that someone forgot to compile them?
So tell us, how many packages are 32bit only, poor schmuck
Post by HadronYou had better stick to talking other stuff you dont know about like
swap files, or anti aliasing.
Poor Peter. How embarrassing.
Again, tell us all, Hadron. This got to be interesting
Post by HadronPost by LinonutPost by Peter KöhlmannLinux was already 64bit for several *years* before the AMD64 was there.
The code was already 64bit-ready for a *long* time.
And the 64bit AMD-code was done by SuSE working closely with AMD in Dresden
You actually know shit about practically anything linux related
Linux kernel is not OSS you freak.
Naturally not, Hadron Quark.
It is all MS code, all pilfered and stolen. Ms told you so
Idiot
Post by HadronLiarnut : you are a schizo. Get help.
Because you are saying so?
It would indicate extremely well mental health on linonuts side
Post by HadronPost by LinonutPost by Peter KöhlmannBut naturally the 64bit-linux code simply *has* to be inferior. After
all, your beloved wintendo is exceptionally crappy in 64bits
That's okay, Windows will get to where Linux is now in a few years with
64-bit support.
Why are you talking about Windows? Oh yes! You and Peter develop SW for
it!
Hypocrites.
Pray tell, Hadron Quark: What is "hypocrisy" when people are professional
enough to work with more than one platform?
Do you mean perhaps "jealousy"? Because thats what you are. You are just a
wannabee linux user. In reality you are a windows gamer only,
"true linux advocate", "kernel hacker", "emacs user", "swapfile expert", "X
specialist", "CUPS guru", "USB-disk server admin", "defragger
professional", "newsreader magician", "hardware maven", "time coordinator"
