Drakath Posted May 5, 2014 Posted May 5, 2014 What is the difference between 64 and 32 bit Linux operating system? What is better to use?
Woovie Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 The same as any other 32 or 64bit OS. It has to do with how "wide" the various bands are. For example, the limits of 32bit on memory is 2^32, or ~4.2GB, whereas 64bit is limited to 2^64, or 16.8mil terabytes. Obviously nothing today uses even close to that, but maybe one day. End all, it's just a limit of how much of value X can be used on various pieces of hardware. "The humble beet is the answer to all riddles." - Rolf
Drakath Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 I see. So what is the best of the following OS to hold a MTA server on? centos-5 ( 64bit ) centos-6 ( 64bit ) debian-6.0 ( 64bit ) debian-7.0 debian-7.0 ( 64 bit ) fedora-20 ( 64bit ) ubuntu-10.04 ( 64bit ) ubuntu-12.04 ( 64bit ) ubuntu-13.10 ( 64bit )
Woovie Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Devian 7.0. You do not need 64bit for an MTA server, although it can be used. "The humble beet is the answer to all riddles." - Rolf
