Etch netinstall for x64_x86

[Delusionz]

Hey,
I've been looking to install etch on a Intel dual core xeon server, but cant figure which version is x64_x86.

Shall I get i386 or anything else to do that job? (netinstall)

thanks for the support

You can get either i386 or amd64 in that case.

If you want the maximum compatibility possible, I would suggest the i386 version, as some applications might not work as well with the amd64 version.

For more details about those architecture, you can check the wikipedia's articles on each of them.

Also, you can read that explanation by techieMoe :

Alright, I'll try out the i386

is it also comes with 2.6.18 kernel?

Thanks.

The Etch RC 1 CD comes with a 2.6.17 CD, but after installation and update you'll get a 2.6.18 kernel.

Etch final will indeed ship with a 2.6.18 kernel (as it does now).
