I have got a live disc version of Mandriva Linux, and also Slackware Linux, but I do not know which Drivers I need to get them to work with wireless??!!

I am using a HP Compaq with an AMD Turion 64 x2 processor, and a Broadcom wireless card.

Can anyone help?! :]

thanks!

I’m playing around with an AMD K6-2 400 with 256MB of ram and a 10GB hard drive. Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I recently installed the 32-bit version of openSUSE on a AMD Sempron 3600+. Before bothering installing the 64-bit version in stead I’m thinking about running a few tests to rerun on the 64-bit install and then compare the systems.

Just about the only idea I have is compressing and uncompressing very large amounts of data and time it. Any other suggestions? Windows has plenty of geeky software for this type of thing, but how about a Linux thing? Preferably with a neat RPM.
OS: Linux 2.6.22.13-0.3-default i686
System: openSUSE 10.3 (i586)
KDE: 3.5.7 "release 72.2"
ATI Technologies Inc: Model: ATI RADEON 9600 Series (RV350/RV360 4150)
Driver: fglrx (3D)
RAM: 1.011,4 MB

i have an amd sempron cpu and i wanted linux debian after i heard about it from one of my friends .. i visited the website and downloaded a package for amd64 (thats the closest match) but its not installing on my system is there anything i can do to make it run….

I’m real new to linux and i’ve tried to look up how to do it and have failed at all the tutorials that i could find… i’m running opensuse 10.2 and have an AMD Athlon 64 3700+ with 1 gb ram. first off, with linux, i’m trying to figure out what, when i’m downloading versions of files, extensions like x86_64 and i686 mean – and how i figure out which one of them my computer is running on – does it have to do with the kernel?

now with xchat, could someone please tell me how to install this program through console? the file name is xchat-2.8.2-4.guru. suse102.x86_64.rpm – the website i am downloading off of is http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=Network/xchat/

thanks!

I have a 1.78 ghz amd sempron processor, and only 224 mb of ram. Which linux os. would work for me?

I’m on a desktop with an AMD Phenom Quad Core processor and I would like to dual boot Windows Vista and Linux Debian, I’m going to put it on my other drive (F) opposed to my main drive (C)

So can anyone give me the link to the Debian download link for AMD Phenom?
