moving on, i have a roomful of gateway MX7120 laptops (with AMD 64-bit mobile athlon CPU) that i use for linux training and, until now, i've just wimped out and installed the 32-bit version of fedora on them for my clients, and that works just fine. but i figure, why waste all that 64-bit computing power, so is there any compelling reason to *not* upgrade them all to fedora x86_64 for those courses? that is, are there any real show-stoppers when it comes to fedora x86_64 that would make that version unusable? thanks. rday p.s. i'm guessing that, since these things have a broadcom chipset, wireless is still going to be an issue as it is with fedora i386 but, in my classrooms, these systems are always hardwired so that's not a problem for me. at least, not yet. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
