hi
is i586 is for 64bit processor????
can i install i586 on my pentium4 2.8GHz and intel 845 motherboard..
Tried it out. Works great. All things tried worked the way they are supposed to. Very fast. Much faster than any distro I’ve tried with the new kernel and KDE422. Very stable.
Two BIG glitches.
ONE: Couldn’t reach “main” depository to download the gl that run the nvidia drivers hence I had acceleration with no 3D.
TWO: Fluendo kept wanting to sell codecs for Firefox to be able to have sound on many of the websites that sound is needed for the movies. Huge Issue!!! May as well have Vista. Nah – just joking. I reloaded 2009 Free – the one I bought at the bookstore. It’s not quite as fast – but, I’m now finding you all have axed the sound in it too – which was doing just fine a week ago. What’s up with that?
I really like (love and adore) Mandriva 2009.1 Spring RC2 and as soon as it’s released to the peasants – I’ll have my real version.
Iam going to download this RC spring 2009 and as soon as I tested I will be posting the results
Why is there no Chinese in rc2? but has some other not very important languages?
