<br></blockquote></div><br>I am using Ubuntu_Studio with XFCE desktop on my old laptop, which has a 32-bit board and 64-bit processors. I don't understand it but that is what lshw says it has, and it won't load a 64-bit OS. It does have PAE, so I am not complaining.<br>

When I get the next laptop, it will probably be Debian, or Linux Mint Debian.<br><br>-Wolf<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>This Apt Has Super Cow Powers - <a href="http://sourcefreedom.com" target="_blank">http://sourcefreedom.com</a><br>
